4 NT Servers with the same tape drives. Currently Backup Exec is configured to backup all Servers to one tape using a server's tape drive. Have now gone to two tapes. Would like current configuration to look to a different server's tape drive for the second tape so we can continue to complete backups after midnight. Can anyone help?

If I understand you right, then you want Backup Exec to continue the backup to a tape drive which is on another server?
Unfortunatly, this is not possible. The drives have to be physical attached to the backup server. There is no way around this, unless you use fibre channel in your network. In that case it doesn't matter where the drives are located, Backup Exec will use them as long as you have the Shared Storage Option.
