restore two databases from one device

Is it possible to have two restores running at the same
time restoring two databases to two different servers from
the same backup device? For example, I have server A and
server B. I want to restore pubs to both A and B at the
same time from last night's backup device. Thanks!Hi,
A Single file can be opened for reading by only one process.
Thanks

But sorry, I don't know which mode SQL does.
Why not just try it?
