Backup of different databases with same policy cannot be taken using Symantec

Backup of different databases with same datalist can be taken using HP data protector.

Backup of different databases using Symantec NetBackup, Symantec Backup Exec, or
HP Data Protector can be taken concurrently. For example, Backup of database db1

execute in parallel.

A database backup is not allowed when a backup of its instance is in progress. Similarly,
an instance backup is not allowed when a backup of the database is in progress.

Due to an SQL instance limitation, the recommended maximum number of databases for

which you can create snapshot backups at the same time is 35.
