Not just to disk, but to multiple tape drives as well. I run flexbackup with the following for a level 0 dump to two tape drives: ( \ /usr/bin/flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape0/mtn -newtape && \ /usr/bin/flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape0/mtn -set DLT80 -level 0 \ ) &>/dev/null & ( \ /usr/bin/flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape1/mtn -newtape && \ /usr/bin/flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape1/mtn -set SDLT320 -level 0 \ ) &>/dev/null & As you can see, I start two flexbackup runs in the background at the same time.
