Please explain me your set up. Are you backing up over the network. We
need to backup a number of servers on a single ADSM server using ADSM.
I guess you cannot backup using a scsi connection (from all the clients) to

a single tape drive? Can you?

I shall appreciate if you provide your user set up instructions and some
server
set up instructions or what ever you feel is important for us.
Thanks,
Madhu Gandhi
