Backup Selections List Directives for Multiple Data Streams

If the Allow Multiple Data Streams general attribute is set for the policy, the following directives can be used in the backup selections list to control the way that NetBackup creates backup streams:

• NEW_STREAM Directive
• ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES Directives
• UNSET and UNSET_ALL Directive

  Note    For best performance, use only one data stream to back up each physical device on the client. Multiple concurrent streams from a single physical device can adversely affect backup times because the heads must move back and forth between tracks containing files for the respective streams.
