Hi,
Just wanted some advice if possible about streams in Netbackup 3.4 and how
tapes are assigned to jobs!
Last night I created a new Backup Policy which contains 14 Streams.
Originally this Job only contained one stream and all Data was backed up to
a single tape.

Now, because I have created streams, 2 tapes were used. To make matters
worse, the 2nd tape only contains approx 65MB of Data on a 200GB compressed
Tape!
One way is to define a storage unit for that class using only 1 tape device

Sincerely Yours

Is there a way I could have told this job to use one tape for this entire
job? Because we are tight on using tapes, I feel this is wasting a good
valuable tape.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks
