Concurrent Backup/Restores

Can I have multiple instances of Enterprise Manager running while each one
is processing a backup or restore. How will this affect performance. I am
trying to restore several large databases and do not want to have to do this
sequentially if if possible. Does it make any difference if I am running EM
on different PCs?
TIA
Rob
Don't use EM, use QA instead along with the BACKUP and RESTORE commands. You
will be limited only by processor and disk bandwidth.
