What is the syntax or command to Tell Veritas to treat differnt folders
as a
different stream on Windows Clients.  I.e, If I am backing up many files
all
under one drive, c:\, isn't there a way to say c:\folder1 and everything
under it is one stream, c:\folder2 is another stream and so on.

Will this work for a Windows 2000 client?  If so do I put it in the same
directory/file name?

I talked to Veritas and they revealed this gem, seems to fix the
problem:

On the aix client:
"touch /usr/openv/netbackup/dont_sort_dir"
This touch file has been known to fix backups with many small files and
the 41 status code.

> I am trying to backup a new AIX system that has a JFS filesystem with
about 1-2 millions files, most smaller then 10k. We first were trying
our TSM server but TSM would give out of memory errors. So since we are
phasig TSM out we hooked up Netbackup and tried it, it seems bpbkar just
starts eating resources and after a few hours is taking like 25% of the
system CPU and not backing up. Any suggestions on backing up filesystems
with millions of small files?
