Hi

Im having problems with my diskstage getting to fragmented and thus getting 
very slow performance when duplicating to tape. Running defrag isnt an option 
since the files are reaplced fequently and the defrag job will take to long 
time to run.

Is there a way to force Netbackup to preallocate space on the diskstage for 
each backupjob, instead as it is now that they are all written in fragments all 
over the disk?

Ive read some about the differences with Basic and Advanced diskstages in 
Netbackup, Im running Basic atm, but havent found any information that Advanced 
could preallocate space?

My diskstage is 5.5tb large, is it better to make to divide it to 2-3 
partitions to avoid fragmentation?

thanks
