It's in the release notes for 5.0:
=0D
NetBackup Supports Very Large File and File Systems
The maximum backup size (per backup stream) supported for NetBackup 4.5
was 1 terabyte. By extension, this was also the maximum supported file
size and file system size. NetBackup 5.0 extends beyond this limit with
the capability of taking very large backups, with very large defined as
over 1 terabyte and up to 2 exabytes (2 million terabytes). This
includes backup and restore when combined with other NetBackup features
and attributes, such as TIR, raw partition, encryption, compression,
etc. With this new very large backup support, NetBackup 5.0 supports
file sizes up to 64 terabytes, and file system sizes up to 2 exabytes,
for all file systems currently supported by NetBackup, on all operating
systems currently supported by NetBackup

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup vs terabyte drives & filesystems
I recently came across this Veritas TechNote which mentions support for
2 terabyte files / 32 terabyte filesystems:
TechNote ID: 249916 - Addendum to the VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.5
Release Notes for Solaris. New feature in VxVM 3.5 is 32-Terabyte volume
support, link: http://support.veritas.com/docs/249916=0D
We currently run NetBackup 4.5 FP3, which (we found out the hard way)
has a 1 terabyte-per-stream limit.=0D
We installed an EMC SAN and several EVA SAN's last year, and now have
numerous multi-terabyte servers. We had to enable multiple streams for
certain clients just to ensure NetBackup didn't keel over after pushing
the first terabyte. Recently one group here started allocating
individual filesystems over 1 terabyte. Just enabling multiple streams
and using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES isn't going to cut it much longer.=0D
So, are any of the latest Veritas NetBackup releases going to be capable
of coping with the latest Veritas Volume Manager file/filesystem
maxsizes soon?
-rsvp, thanks=0D
