Hi Tim

It is not possible to have one process use 2 tapes. You have to have 2
process, and one process has one input tape and one output tape, witch
requers 4 drives.

Subject: Storage Pool Backup


Hi,

I've a question about storage pool backup.  We have various onsite primary
storage pools and two offsite copy storage pools, (in case of media failure
during DR restore). Hence the copy pools contents are the same.  Currently
our morning housekeeping backs up the primary pools to each copy pool in
turn.  My question is is it possible to backup a primary storage pool to two
copy storage pools at the same time, i.e. read in on one tape and write the
data out to two at the same time?

Regards

Tim
