As much as I know it will be asking for each tape sequentially.So you can run as many restores as you have tape drives at the same time. Andrea Mac Murray

I'm doing a DR exercise and am trying to workout how many simultaneous client restores I could do with 4 tape drives. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
