Can you post the listing for the classes, one for the class that does split
into multiple jobs and one for the one that doesn't split?

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

Multi-stream has been enabled but we are not using wild cards for the file
listing of the class. However all sites have been configured this way but
some don't exhibit this type of behaviour.

 

Should there be something else that we should be looking for?

 

I have seen this sort of behaviour before on internet examples but as I said
I need to know whether this is normal Netbackup behaviour.

 

Cheers,

 

Nick

I suspect the ones that are splitting jobs are multistreamed (check main GUI
page, "allow multiple streams" checkbox") and that you're using wildcards.

 

In the absence of "NEW_STREAM" directives in filelist, wild-cards in the
filelist will split into individual jobs if multi-stream is enabled.

Hi there,

 

I just have set up 5 separate offices to use NetBackup Business Server 3.4.

 

Each is running their own business server on Solaris.

 

All are just backing up one client.

 

All are configured to run a full backup on a Tuesday at 22:30.

 

All are configured to run differential-incremental backups under one policy
on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

 

My question is that when I run the Activity Monitor on two of the sites it
shows successful jobs for both the Full and differential-incremental but the
jobs are split into smaller jobs so that I will get 3 job ids for a
scheduled backup. So it appears that the backup job is being split into
smaller chunks.

 

When you drill down into these job IDs one job is 32K, and the other two are
larger, but different sizes.

 

Can you tell me whether this is normal Netbackup behavior?

 

If it is why does the NetBackup break the scheduled jobs up for some sites
but not all?

 

If not is there something that I might be doing wrong.

 

Cheers,

 

Nick
