Hello,
You can create a device pool.
A device pool is a grouping of devices for Backup Exec operations. Devices can belong to
more than one device pool, unless a device is in a cascaded drive pool. Device pools can
contain different types of devices, including specific devices in multi-device robotic
libraries.
In a device pool, Backup Exec selects the oldest recyclable media in all of the devices in the
device pool to use first. If more than one media meeting the requirements is found,
Backup Exec then searches the devices in a device pool according to device priority and
uses the oldest recyclable media in the device that has the highest priority.
When you submit a backup job to a device pool, the job is automatically sent to the first
available storage device in that device pool. As other jobs are created and started, they can
run concurrently on other storage devices in the device pool. By dynamically allocating
devices as jobs are submitted, Backup Exec processes jobs quickly and efficiently.
To create a device pool:
1. On the navigation bar, click Devices.
2. Click Device Pools.
3. Under Device Pool Tasks in the task pane, select New device pool.
4. Select the appropriate options, and then click OK.
We hope this helps. Do revert if you have any further queries.
