I'm pretty sure it's split at the media server, unless anyone can convince me different. I see negligable difference in performance, however, you'll need to factor in double the number of drives when you're configuring your shared memory for the tape buffers. ie, Max Shared Mem= number of buffers * size of buffers * number of streams per drive * number of drives.

I have a customer which has a problem similar to this one: http://www.arcknowledge.com/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.veritasbu/2005-12 /msg00502.html <http://www.arcknowledge.com/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.veritasbu/2005-1 2/msg00502.html> And would like to know your experience on ITC.
