This can be a hairy subject.  Why do you want to use this option, before
I start.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing / Streaming


Hi can I have some opinions please?
I am deeply concerned about backup speeds, and trying to get my head
around streaming and multiplexing.

I have 3 available tape drives and I have 2 policies that I intend to
run tonight. I want both policies to use the available drives where
possible.

I have told NBU I have 5 drives available - 2 are offline at the moment,
but
3 are readily there.

The 1st policy will start at 6pm and contains 3 streams

The 2nd Policy starts at 7pm and contains 3 streams.

Both of the policies both state "Media Multiplexing" is set for 3

NBU Master Storage Unit is set for "Max Multiplexing per drive" is 6.

Does this sound right or have I missed the point?

Thank you for any input!

Simon
