Well, that significantly decreases the value of AFTDs over VTLs in
NetWorker, now doesn't it?

Subject: Re: [Networker] Query in Staging from adv_file

 

Sadly, no.  The nsrstage will serialize their use of the single RO side
of the AFTD.  With multiple nsrstage processes trying to access the same
AFTD, you will get alerts that they are waiting for the AFTD.RO
device/volume.

I understand that each staging process will only use one drive at a
time, but is there a way that he can get more than one staging process
reading from the same AFTD?  
 
What if he doesn't do it automatically, but kicks off several nsrstaging
processes manually?  Is that possible?  Will they then each read some
backups and stage them to tape?  (I haven't done much with nsrstage.)
