Is it possible to perform a parallel backup with OnBar/ISM and have ISM write to multiple devices concurrently? If so, how do you configure ISM? I have tried this and had OnBar running 3 backup streams (using OnBar -b -L 0), but all three streams were being written to the same device, even though I had three devices (with mounted, labeled volumes) defined in ISMData. I can find nothing in the manual about this (maybe I'm just blind), but I suspect it is not functional. If anyone can provide a definitive answer, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
