I have a problem with my backup strategy I had used in Backup Exec 2010.
In 2010 I backup all servers in one job to a B2D Storage (on the D:\ partition from the Backup server) after this a duplication job run to copy the whole B2D data (of the B2D job) to the Tape. This was for me the best way.
Now I have some Problems:
(Sorry for my simple Englisch )

--> Go to Storage. Click on Configure Storage option and select Disk based storage and provide the path for D: drive. Remember with BE 2012 you can create only one B2D on one volume
-->Create backup job for each server and set the destination as the B2D on the D: drive. Increase the concurrency of the B2D to appropriate high value if jobs from all the servers are going to start at the same time.
Thanks,

How can I duplicate the whole B2D Backup in one time to tape
You can use DUplicate Backup Sets. From Storage Tab select all the backup sets (ctrl+click) you want to duplicate to tape, right click on one of them and click on duplicate. COmplete the other options like storage device to be used, medis set and click on OK.
And i do not understand why you want two B2D folders.
Thanks....

Backup Exec will backup your servers successively because the default 'Concurrent write sessions' feature defaults to 1, for a Disk Storage device. Therefore, create/target your server backups to the Disk Storage device. The one at the front of the line will begin and the others will not. When the first one is done, the next one will start and so on...unitl all of them have run.
To view the 'Concurrent write sessions' of your storage device, follow these steps:

FYI
In the next release of Backup Exec, the ability to bundle multiple servers into a single job returns. It doesn’t help now, but Symantec have been listening and will be reintroducing this feature in the near future.
