VCB running Multiple jobs

Ok, I have a good question if someone has the answer.

I install VCB for a customer and got it working. They can run Full Image backups and File level backups.

When they run 2 or more jobs (file level backups) at the same time against 2 different servers it works fine. However, when they try to run 2 different jobs because of different plicy settings againt the same server it fails.

So my question is, can 2 jobs be ran on the same server at the same time? I so, how do I do it and what do I need to change on the settings. And they are running Netbackup 6.0MP4?

Thanks to anyone that can help me out with this answer.

You can't run two VCB jobs on the same VM concurrently. Each one needs to create a snapshot, and doesn't apply/delete it until the backup finishes. You can't have two snapshots active on a single VM concurrently, so you can't run two VCB jobs concurrently on the same VM.

Sorry, just reread and saw "file backups". Nevermind.
