How to utilize 2nd tape drive in Dell PowerVault 132T

[John_Grist]

I have a Dell PowerVault 132T with two LTO3 tape drives. I have Backup Exec 10d with two Library Expansion Option licenses. I also have Remote Client licenses installed on my other servers. Is there a way to use both tape drives simultaneously during the backup process?

Thanks

If backupExec sees both tape drives, you can run two jobs simultaneously, but there is no way to use both drives in a single job (stripe them).


Used to be an add-on called RAIDDirector that would stripe a backup job over multiple tape drives, but only stand-alone drives, not drives in libraries, and it disappeared with v9.0
