A simple SSO question

[AlGon]

Hello again
 
 If three media severs are sharing a robot, (with two drives inside) and each media severs is backing up a number of clients.   
 I understand that a media server can multi stream\multiplex to a single drive but can two media servers write to the same drive at the same time?

Thanks a lot

Only one media server can reserve a drive at any point in time. If 2 media servers are busy writing to one drive each, the 3rd media server's jobs will be queued. It is normally a good idea to not have less drives than media servers.

Perfect, thanks a lot Marianne.
