Hi,
We have an Quantum i500 Tape Libraray with 6 drives and lots of available slots. We have a backup job that we would like to create to backup approximately 150TB on a single volume. Volume is E:\*.*
Subfolders within the root level of the E drive range from 80TB to 10TB in size. We are exploring NetBackup as a possible solution, but wanted to know if there is a way to setup the job to backup the E:\*.* Folder across multiple tape drives at the same time vs. just a single drive. We're also concerned about splitting up the job.
Job1 Backs up Folder 1
Job2 Backs up folder 2
Job3 Backs up Folder 3 & 4
If the users who use this folder create a Folder5, we won't know it is there and won't back it up. Again, this is my assumpiton, I welcome all feedback and suggestions as we are evaluating NetBackup at the moment.
Example for Illsustration Purposes:
E:\Folder1 = 80TB
E:\Folder2= 30TB
E:\Folder3=10TB
E:\Folder4=30TB
