File to Tape

Post by givcho »

Hi All,
We have a Linux servers with couple of terabytes of files, that need to be copied to tape, and we have a tape library with 4 drives.
When we start a File to Tape job, its working with only 1 drive. (all parallel processing options are on)
IS there any way to make that job working with more than 1 drive?

Parallel processing within single tape job is available only for backup to tape jobs. To process multiple files simultaneously create several file to tape jobs. Thanks.

You're welcome. In your case splitting files/folders among several file to tape jobs and letting them process those objects concurrently sounds like the best idea. Thanks.
