If you go to 3.2 you can use Multi Streaming to backup each target to a
separate drive, but that would not be such a good idea because the tape
drives would be much faster than the target data being pushed up.
So I would suggest running each target as a separate stream and then
multiplexing 5 together per drive, that seems to be the fastest I've been
able to get the data to write, I've seen up to 16-18 GB an hour off a single
NetWare box.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetWare clients
I have a couple NetWare clients of my Solaris master server using NBU
3.1.1. My problem is that our mail server takes 9+ hours to back up.
Oftentimes we need to manually stop the backup early in the morning when
there is a lot of disk space being used so that people can at least
access their mail.
My questions:
1) Can we separate the NetWare volumes like you would Unix filesystems?
For instance, on some of our larger Unix servers, we have a couple
different classes backing it up each backing up a different filesystem.
I would like to do this with this particular NetWare client, even if it
meant backing up half of it one night, and the other half the next night
(then continue alternating).
2) Is it true that the NetWare client only allows one backup job to run
at a time?
3) Is there any configuration changes, etc. I can do to make the backup
time decrease?
4) Do the newer releases of the NetWare client (3.2, 3.4) have any
improvements over the 3.1.1 client?
Regards,
Ryan
