When NetWorker is backing up a *single* save set, does it send each file over one at a time or does it wrap two or more files together into that one stream? Does it change its behavior from one save set to another, one client to another, etc. or is it consistent?

I'm assuming that one is using standard NW backups and not some ancillary package that would enable block level backups. In other words, when NW decides a file needs to be backed up, it backs up the entire file - this is what happens in our case - and not just the low level block changes.

Thanks.

George
