Backup Stream not multiplexing to tape
I know I'm probably missing something rudimentary, but here's my situation:
I created a policy to backup some directories on a single server concurrently. So my backup selection looks like this:
NEW_STREAM
/backup/folder1
NEW_STREAM
/backup/folder2
NEW_STREAM
/backup/folder3
NEW_STREAM
/backup/folder4
etc... for a total of 10 streams.
The policy schedule has "Media Multiplexing" set to 6, and the storage unit has multiplexing enabled, with a max of 8 streams per drive.
When I run the job, I get 10 backup jobs each writing to a different tape drive, pretty much consuming all the drives. I would expect the jobs to stream to 2 drives.
What am I missing? The environment is 7.6.
Thanks
Create another storage unit, pointing to the same device definition, but limit this new storage unit to two concurrent write drives, and then change the required policy schedule(s) to use this new storage unit.
