Firstly, Thank you all for your help with BPEXPDATE. I am glad I am getting
this right now :)

I have one small question about Multiplexing. On the Netbackup PDF's (which
is what I am using) it says you can specify the number of jobs that can
multiplex to a single tape drive! (Words to that effect).

My question is this: I have a backup policy with 8 clients listed. Within
this backup policy I have specified to backup All Local Drives for these 8
clients. I want to use as less tapes as possible (I use 100GB HCART Tapes).
If I increase this Multiplexing number, does it mean that more data will be
written to a single drive in a tape?

We use an ADIC Scalar 100 which consists of 3 tape drives. Because I have no
more slots available to place blank tapes, I was kind of hoping that using
this Multiplexing option will help retain more data on a single tape!

Am I right, or am I reading this incorrectly.!

Thank you
