Multiple Tape Drives with 1 job

Is there a way to use multiple tape drives to backup a single job? I know I can do multiple jobs to use multiple devices. I have created a pool of drives.

No

v7 and v8 had an add-on called RAIDDirector that would stripe data across multiple drives, but that disappeared with v9.

all you can do is split your jobs into multiple smaller jobs, and run them concurrently to different drives

From the Help files that's what I figured.

Thanks... Jim

Hello Jim,

It seems your question is already answered from the help files and by Ken. Backup exec can span a job to another tape, but can't use many tapes for a single job. Let us know if you need any other info on this.
