Hi Eric,

Microsoft had original intentions to add striping into
Exchange legacy-style backups, but opted against it,
most likely to focus their efforts on VSS backups.

DP/Exchange has nothing built in to break apart the
storage group list and create multiple streams.
The only way to do this is to create and launch
separate commands, specifying the individual storage groups.

I have heard of a few customers that have written
Perl scripts that query the storage groups and then build
the commands dynamically in order to do this
multiple-instance/parallelism automatically.

Thanks,

Del
