Re: [Veritas-bu] Allow Multiple Data Streams creating thousands of jobs!

When you run this, how many jobs are active?

You get multiple jobs because you are using wildcards. This is the behavior I would expect.
If it is anything other than 6, then you have likely hit the MPX limit you set on your drives or you have hit the limit set by number of jobs allowed per client.

This property is found under Host Properties > MasterServer > Client Attributes > General tab.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Allow Multiple Data Streams creating thousands of jobs!

I have a policy with Allow Multiple Data Streams enabled.

It's backup selection is about 15 directories (SAN attached). e.g.
C:\dir1\*
C:\dir2\*
C:\dir3\*
C:\dir4\*
..

I have "Limit jobs per policy" set to 6, so I figured NBU would only allow 6 at a time. But it tries to create thousands (a job for each sub-directory of my backup selection).

My goal was to keep 6 streams rolling off my storage array. How come Limit jobs per Policy isn't working?
