The Media multiplexing attribute specifies the maximum number of jobs from the schedule that NetBackup can multiplex onto any one drive. Multiplexing sends concurrent backup jobs from one or several clients to a single drive and multiplexes the backups onto the media.
Specify a number from 1 through 32, where 1 specifies no multiplexing. Any changes take effect the next time a schedule runs.

Note: |
Some policy or some schedule types do not support media multiplexing. The option cannot be selected in those instances. |
To configure multiplexed backups, multiplexing must be indicated in both the storage unit (Maximum Streams Per Drive setting) and the schedule (Media Multiplexing setting) configuration. Regardless of the Media multiplexing setting, the maximum jobs that NetBackup starts never exceeds the Maximum Streams Per Drive value for the storage unit.
