Hi,

Wouldn't using directive(s) achieve this?? You could have several
instances of that client each with its own directive.

Andrew,

If I understand correctly you want to create a script that lets you
backup a subtree in 3 parts separate from the normal backup of that
volume e.g.

master_volume = X:\
Subtree = X:\all_data\bigdata

and you want to split the Subtree into 3 parts e.g.

Subtree_1 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[a-k]*
Subtree_2 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[l-s]*
Subtree_3 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[[t-z]*

So now you have in total 4 subtrees on this volume

You allso expect to run Subtree_1 to 3 at the same time and so expect a
faster backup.

Questions that come to mind:

Can your volume where the data is stored handle 3 datastreams of each
500GB in paralell and can your infrastructure (network and target disk)
handle it what times would you like to archieve?

========================

I have a smaller subtree that I need to backup separately and have
chosen to skip that subtree during regular backups with a skip
statement.

/volume/data1
/volume/data2

so I use a .nsr at /volume
having skip: data2

then I have a separate client entry for this client that only backs up
/volume/data2. 

to schedule the second client entry one could create a separate group
that can be started with a nsradmin script

like
. type: nsr group; name MYGROUP
update autostart: start now

=============================

Is this making any sense?

Maarten
