More surprising I've seen that if you have allowed multiple stream (
have multiple drive letters in same windows policy)
When job reruns picks up entire server backups ( all the streams in same
job)
It was known bug in 5.0 MP3 but it still exists in 5.0 MP6 ( which was
fixed as per veritas)
So watch out for these issues too

I haven't seen it work properly yet.
I've got windows 2k3 boxes with 1/2 TB or so, that can get to 97%
complete, die with a 156, then start over from scratch.
:o/
Checkpoints set for every 15 minutes.
