It depends on how many clients you have and the file systems (savesets)
on each.

Try reducing the 'target session' on each of your drives and increase
the saveset parallelism on your client side.
Be aware that even increasing the client saveset parallelism and you
have 'All' in your saveset field, you will only get in 1 savestream
streaming from that client.

Some thoughts on multiplexing or using multiple drives to backup
clients:
Faster backups.
Slow restore (because data is multiplexed across several
volumes/tapes).

Hi All,

I have a 4 drive autochanger and by backups only seem to be using 1 at
a
time. How do I configure Networker to use all 4 drives available
simultaneously?

Many thanks
