Multiple jobs on one schedule

Hi
I am wondering if it's possible to run multiple backup jobs from one shedule
in SQL Server 2000, so all backups are triggered simultaneously at a given
time.
Having looked at the sysjobs and sysjobsschedules tables in msdb it seems
they have a 1 to 1 relationship and this leads me to believe this is not
possible. Has anyone else ever achieved this, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance

The second backup will wait till the first one completed.
What is the purpose?

I think the closest you can get, it to create multiple jobs that starts
at the same time. I don't quite see the need for it though, but I assume
you have a reason for it?

Steen|||It just seemed a bit more organised to use the one schedule as all we are
doing is repeating data in sysjobschedules, this is for around 25 databases
each with 2 backup schedules. We are about to rescheule the time they run
anyway so thought it may be a worthwhile excercise.
Thanks again

If you schedule mutiple jobs that hit the same discs you may see a
performance bottleneck. You may want to look at having one job with multiple
steps!
