Assuming the retention level is same for all three jobs NetBackup will multiplex all three jobs to one single tape.

Example. If i have 3 clients and 3 policies for each client using same storageunit and same volume pool. My storageunit have 3 drives and i set it to 3 concurrent drive write. The policies of the 3 client i set multiplexing to 3. Question If i trigger all 3 policy all at the same time. Does netbackup do 1 or 2 assuming there are no other backup running from other media servers? 1. One drive will consolidate all 3 jobs to a single tape media? 2. One drive will be use for each job triggered, meaning the media server will use up all three drives with 3 tape media? Anyone have any idea? _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
