[Veritas-bu] maximum backup streams for SAN data

Kate supplied it.  I have an 5.1MP6 master that still sees it.  May have 
something to do with the client version.

Bobby,

I'd be interested in knowing of a link to that documentation/bug from Veritas.

If you are using NB5.1, don't make them larger than 1TB.  There is a reported 
bug that documents that even though you get good backups, you can't restore.

I have seen the restores fail.  There is not a way to get it off of the tape.

Hello,
 
I am designing a new backup environment.  I have some NDMP data to backup with 
volumes that can grow up to 5TB each. Should I separate the volumes into to 
multiple streams for NDMP backups in excess of a TB? I have read that this is a 
best practice but I would like to know what people are doing in the real world. 
 I am aware of the benefits of shrinking the dataset if a job fails. =)
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Dwayne Adams
