Hi NBUers,

  I have a policy which I want to configure with multiple streams.  I am
slightly confused about how this works.  When I create the 'backup
selctions' list, it looks something like this:

D:\
NEW_STREAM
E:\ONE
E:\TWO
E:\THREE
NEW_STREAM
E:\FOUR
E:\FIVE
E:\SIX
NEW_STREAM
E:\SEVEN
E:\EIGHT
E:\NINE
E:\TEN
E:\ELEVEN
NEW_STREAM
E:\TWELVE
E:\THIRTEEN

  Now, from what I've read, with the above configuration, 5 jobs would
be created, one backing up D:\, one backing up E:\ONE through E:\THREE,
one backing up E:\FOUR through E:\SIX, and so on.  What I've observed,
however, is that 14 jobs are created, one for each directory specified.
My configuration follows:

Master Server:  Solaris 9, VERITAS NBU Enterprise 5.0 with the '4' level
patch on it
Client: Windows 2003, also with the '4' level patch

Policy Type: MS-windows-NT
Jobs/Policy: 5
Allow Multiple Data Streams: Yes
Media Multiplexing: 1

  Am I just reading these docs wrong?  Am I configuring something wrong?

  Thanks for any help.
