Backup Central

Hi,

We're using Veritas Datacenter 4.5.
Here's a particular Configuration:

1. Two Policies unix + nt with "multiple copy" enable.

2. This both are running backup on Robot-0 and copy on Robot-1 (in
parallel).

3. This both are using the same Pool "multiple_test". This Pool are on
both Robot.

4. This Policies are running at the same time.

Veritas use two Tapes pro Policies, one for Robot-0 and one for
Robot-1. That's means there're on the whole four Tapes.
My question are:
-. Is it possible to run this two Polices on only one Tape in Robot-0
and one in Robot-1. What's should I configure to do that?
-. Is it a good solution to run some Policies on one Tape in a
Performance view?

Thanks a lot (in advance)

Several things....

Verify that these jobs are either able to multiplex to one tape, or restrict to one drive so that the jobs run one after the other, or schedule them to run at separate times.


If the storage unit allows more than one drive per robot to be used, then each job will run to a separate drive and tape.

Also, verify that both policies have the same retention, or check the "allow multiple retentions per tape" option.
