vxdump backup to different tapes at same time

Hi all:

Need to get a vxdump backup of HPUX 11.00 - the various apps outside of vg00.

Per customer request they want a vxdump to 2 tapes at the same time. Each tape to contain the same info. (A simultaneous backup to multiple tapes and devices using vxdump)

Is this possible? I can get 2 tapes and 2 tapes drives but will vxdump be OK with the process?

No, vxdump will not support it.

Hi,

in single session of vxdump it will not be possible. you can start two different sesson and issue command for it.

I should work but fire it from two sessions as one cannot write to two tapes at the same time.
