Two drives attached to one Backup Exec Server

Hi All,

I have two drives Seagate DAT STD2401LW-S/R and I want to attach them to one Backup Exec Server in a daisy chain. Is it possible? Do I need some aditional licences (like Library Expansion Option)? and if it is possible, can I run two backup jobs in the two drives at the same time?

Thanks a lot!!!

Regards,
Luis Sakihama

Hello,

Are these standalone drives? If yes, then backup exec can support unlimited standalone drives and no additional license in needed. However if these are the two drives of a robotic library, then backup exec supports the first drive, but for every additional drive, a Library expansion option is needed.

You can run concurrent jobs on the two drives. Refer to the following technote for more information on this:

Hope this answers your question. Revert in case of doubts.
