So you are saying that a single group, with 2 different client entries for 
the same client, will execute all 10 folder backups simultaneously? (or 
more or less simultaneously - the point being that the last saveset will 
not wait until all other 9 savesets are finished, before starting?

It's not the start time I am worried about, necessarily, but the finishing 
time of all 10. :-) We have maintenance to do this weekend, and we can't 
do it until all 10 savesets are finished (because part of our maintenance 
needs to be a restore of these 10 savesets to a new disk. I can't have the 
old disk and new disk online at the same time, else I would just copy 
between them. So I need to backup in FULL; configure the new disks; do a 
restore).

Can a restore be done in parallel? What (well, my boss) will do is use the 
GUI NWRECOVER, and choose all 10 folders to do the recover. If I can speed 
that up any, that would be great.
