Spanning Dual tape drives

Post by atootell »

Can anyone confirm that it is or is not possible to configure a single job to span across 2 tape drives?

Yep, In order to use multiple standalone tape drives you have to create multiple media pools (one per drive), as well as, tape jobs (one per media pool). Thanks.
