The only way to use bpbackup across multiple tape drives is to break your
filelist into segments and run a different bpbackup for each segment.  Each
segment will be a different backup stream.  

After that, multiple/single streams per tape drive & all that is managed by
the schedule & storage unit settings.

NBU 3.4
SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000
How can I concurrently write to multiple tape drives when running bpbackup
using the -f filelist parameter.
>From Unix Korn shell script the following command is being issued:
        /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup -w -c inv_sys_dbbkup -s daily_full
-L dbbkup.log -f dirlist_for_db.dat
The dirlist_for_db.dat file contains a list of directories where the related
database file reside:
/dbf/dbredo01/ind1b/
/dbf/dbredo02/ind1b/
/dbf/dbredo03/ind1b/
/dbf/dbredo04/ind1b/
/dbf/ua09/ind1b/
/dbf/ua10/ind1b/
/dbf/ua11/ind1b/
/dbf/ua12/ind1b/
When this backup is executed it uses a single stream writing to one tape
drive.
Is there a way to get this backup to concurrently write multiple streams to
more than one tape drive at a time?
Excuse my ignorance. I'm a DBA and do not have access to any NetBackup
manuals. The backup team that is responsible for this tells me there is no
way to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
