Multiple backup

Hi,
I'm using a Exabyte EZ-17 tape library. I would like to create multiple backup jobs at different times after hours. Is there a way to create different jobs and assign each job to a different slots in the library of the tape drive? If there is a way can somebody tell me how it's done? Thank you very much!

    You can create partitions in the library (think of them as virtual tape drives). From the devices tab, right click the library\Create Partitions.

    then create a new job to point to each partition
