Simultaneous Backup

Not applicable
OK, I've searched and searched these boards but always seem to get different answers. Here is what I'm trying to do.
 
Windows 2003 Server, Backup Exec 11D
Dell Tape Drive
Backup to Disk
 
This is how it's currently setup. I want to be able to duplicate my current jobs that go to tape and have them go to disk as well. So, I copy the job and change it's destination to the B2D location. These jobs are to run at the exact same time. They both run, but only one ever finished. One job eventually fails, usually a volume shadow copy problem (on an exchange backup) Although I want to be able to do it for all my jobs that are currently running to tape.
 
Is it even possible to run 2 of the same jobs at the exact same time, just to different locations? If so, how do I need to set it up? Please help!

You run 2 jobs at the same time, but only one job uses the remote agent. You can do the backup and then create a policy that will duplicate your backup set.
