Hi,

What's the best way to back up the same saveset to two different tapes
simultaneously? Can this be done and if so, what is the best way?

Let's say I have a client that has 10 directories. I want to back up
each of these as a separate path (saveset) to a tape, maybe like 4 at a
time since my sessions per device is currently set to 4. I then want to
create a second copy of these on another tape. I was considering
cloning, but this seems not to be the best choice in this case, so I was
thinking rather than backing everything up once to one tape and then
repeating the process for the next tape, I would instead do it to both
tapes at the same time and finish in half the time. My client
parallelism is typically set to 4 on most of the clients.

Would it be possible for the client to send four save sessions to two
different devices? Maybe a client cannot back up the same session to
more than one device at a time? Not sure, never tried.

Thanks.

George
