I have 2 tape stations but only one is running at a time

[Johnny_Broe]

Case:

BackupExec 2010 R2

Windows 2008 installed on a HP Proliant ML350 G4p

2 tapestations:

- 1 HP Ultrium 460 and

- 1 HP Ultrium 448

on separate scsi controllers

I have made 2 backup jobs and I am starting the at the same time, but only one is running. The other is queued until the first job is finished

How can I get both jobs to run at the same time?

A hint would be nice

Best Regards

After one got finished, the second job is using the other drive or the same drive.

If the second job is also using the same/first drive, you may be targetted both your jobs at the same tape drive. Please verify..

Thanks...

Do you see any active alerts in the alerts tab?

Make sure you ahve a Librry expansion license installed for the 2nd drive you have in your Library ..  and the backup job is not configured to run on the same Drive .(check in Backup job properties--Device and media )
