Ara, Try staging to disk with multiple streams and then moving to tape. That'll shorten your backup window and won't require additional tape hardware and will provide you with faster backups.

This is why I'm moving away from BUE. - Jer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > "Roger Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 03/13/2008 03:33:08 PM: > > > “Also is there any way to have multiple backup jobs going to tape at > > the same time?” > > No, and this is one of my big disappointments with BUE.
