Hello
i want to use veritas backup exec with option ndmp to backup to tape. I have netapp and tape library with 4 drives. netapp and tape library is connected over FC. I want to license another 3 drives in tape library so all 4 drives are licensed.
is it now possible that i run 4 jobs in veritas at the same time and each job used different drive. Is multistream supporting?
thanks for answers.

Yes, you can run 4 jobs at the same time, using different sources and targets.
No, Backup Exec does not support multistreaming so you cannot have one backup job using 4 target tape drives.

When you create or edit a backup job, you should be able to select any discovered/available tape drive, robotic library, or storage pool. You can select a specific robotic library or a specific tape drive within that library.
