hi,<br />
<br />
if multiplexing is what you have set it will backup to a single drive with multiple threads of each item marked for backup to the same tape. &nbsp;As in your case you have 5 physical drives which means it simultaneously backups the 4 drives selected for backup to a single tape. <br />
<br />
If netbackup has the feature called multistreaming then you can select that option as that will write data simultaneously to multiple drives <br />

I'm running Netbackup 6.5.2A on a Windows 2003 Enterprise server. I have my storage unit for my library is set to use all four drives and my backup job is set to use this storage unit as well. I made sure multipling is set to 4 for my backup policy as well. Yet when the job runs it only uses one drive at a time and the server it is backing up has 5 physical drives that get backed up..<br />

Windows 2003 Netbackup 6.5.2A Not Using all Drives in Library

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
