Multiple scanner

Question

Can we do a scanner of tapes on two or more devices simultaneously?

I think you should not have any problems with that as EMC/Legato has been suggesting multiple window option for years. If there would an issue with multiple updates of databases (index and media) I would think first problem would be during backup then... so I would say it is safe bet there aren't such issues.

I suppose that, but... no problem with the actualization of the databases for two ways at the same time?

Just open another cmd promt and run it on other devices such as \.\Tape1, \.\Tape2 etc..

Yes - good point, i'm afraid I don't know whether 2 devices can access the index simultaneously duing a scanner command - but theres a good way to find out !
