True - so what Joni needs is a script that uses 6 "streams" to backup the diskpools, then throttles back to 3 "streams" to do the tape to tape backup. -steve

I have an issue of drive shortage and I would like to cascade my backup jobs of my storage pools. I know that you first want to make the disk to offsite tape copy and then the onsite tape to offsite tape copy for each storage pool. My question is, how do I combine all 14 jobs in a cascading order so that they are only using a maximum of 6 drives at a time? I thought about putting them all within a script and running them with wait=yes but I don't think that will give me exactly what I want to do. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the input! Thanks! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************** Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm
