What 1.38 has is the ability for you to specify more than one storage device for a Job. The SD will then select one that is free or corresponds to what the user wants (correct Media Type). However, the Job will be tied to a single storage device. I've added a field in the database that will allow striping of data across devices, but there is no code and I currently don't have it scheduled for implementation. > > I'm sure sometime today Kern or another, more experienced list member could > confirm or correct me on this, but I think the answer is "I don't think > so."
