Did you test if it is possible? (I can test for you in a dummy environment if
you want). I don't remember if it is or if the bellow quote only applies to
copy jobs...
"If the Migration control job finds a number of JobIds to migrate (e.g. it is
asked to migrate one or more Volumes), it will start one new migration backup
job for each JobId found on the specified Volumes. Please note that Migration
doesn't scale too well since Migrations are done on a Job by Job basis. This if
you select a very large volume or a number of volumes for migration, you may
have a large number of Jobs that start. Because each job must read the same
Volume, they will run consecutively (not simultaneously)."

> Sure, downside on restore is interleaving of blocks....
I also remember that I read somewhere that you don't need to concern about that
when doing copy jobs, but I think it refers to lack of multiplexing quoted
before.

Even without multiplexing, I think you will achieve a hight throughput since
you are copying sequential data.
In this case, if you really want to multiplex the copy I think you would have
to create two different source and destination pools.
