There is a supported two step catalog backup method that is in the 3.4 sys
admin guide.  It does just that... does a regular backup of all image dirs and
then uses normal catalog method to backup image dir for master only, along
with things like VolDB, MediaDB, etc.

Does anyone know if backing up the NBU catalog using multistreaming, then
backing up the images for the master server (and all the supporting files)
using bpbackupdb is supported by Veritas? And if so is there a maximum
number of streams? We would like to stream to four tape drives so that the
catalog backup takes only 2.5 hours instead of the current 6 to 8 hours. It
works fine, but I need to know if it is supported.


Yours sincerely,
