I have a two drive library (msl 5000) with two LTO2 drives. When I backup large 
data I would like it to split the data up and backup using both drives. Is this 
a possibility?  I've been googling and found multiplexing and I think I have 
enabled multiplexing or the storage unit and set Max concurent write drives to 
2 and checked the enable multiplexing box and set maximum streams per drive to 
2. But my backup ( sent via command line) is still only using one drive. 

Is there a point where NBU makes a decision on when to utilize the second drive?
