We're looking to implement a VTL and Tape Library into our backup environment. In order to push enough data to maximize the thruput on the VTL, it looks like we'll need multiple backup servers with several GigE network cards in them.
Does anyone else have a similar setup, or have any thoughts on how ArcServe can be configured so that two backup servers can talk to the same library? Other software, such as CommVault I believe, has the concept of a master server that does all the communications to the VTL and library, and the child servers route all commands through the master. I haven't heard of this existing in ArcServe, so I'm not sure if our proposed setup is even possible.
