hello

I have a HP surestore DLT library with 20 slots and 2 drives
how can I "tell" arcserve to use the 2nd drive....?

do I have to create at least 2 backup jobs?

thanks!
 
You will need to install and purchase a licence for the Tape Library option.
 
It will automatically use all available drives.

For example when doing an inventory of all slots both drives should be used.

If you want to backup to both drives at the same time, try splitting the slots up into two groups and submitting a job to each group.
 
thanks to both of you!

I already have the tape library option licensed, and a few moments after posting here, I created two different backup jobs, and as soon as I ran the second, the loader took a tape and loaded it in the 2nd drive!!!

I didn't expect to do it this way, as I wanted only ONE job, but it seems to be the only way to backup to both of the drives simultaneously....

thanks again!
