vault to more than 1 tape drive

I have just recently installed a new Netbackup 6.5.2A Master/Media server for our company. On our old Netbackup solution everything went to tape but with our new server everything is written to a DataDomain appliance and a replication process on the DD device replicates our data to a DR site(retention of 90 days).  We do however have a requirement to backup once per month and to keep this data for 7 years.  Right now I am having Netbackup write this data to disk with 7 year schedules(90 day retention) and I am having vault running to capture these 7 year schedules and vaulting them to tape(7 year retention).  Right now I have 4 vault profiles (Database, SOX, Unix and Windows) and 4 policies set for these.  When these policies launched today only 1 of my four drives is getting used and the other 3 policies are waiting for resources.  Is there anyway to configure these vault jobs to use all four of my LTO4 drives?

 

Thanks,

 

Derek

Hi,

 

Only one vault policy is allowed to run per media server at a time.
