The (normal) environment is one backupset, one tape. Possible workaround: Create a second TSM server (or a second instance on the existing TSM server) that uses a separate library (or possible a logical library within your existing physical library). Set up server-to-server communication, and use a server-based device class to send backupsets to a virtual volume on the source server. The target server will 'stack' multiple backupsets on a single physical tape. -- Mark Stapleton
