Remember you'll have a filesystem limitation. Each fragment is a separate
file.  Coming from disk, I can't see where fragment size is going to be a
big issue.  Each fragment has some header info that takes space and you'll
still have to search each fragment for individual file blocks on small
restores.  You'll be searching at disk speeds so I doubt it's terribly
significant.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disk based backups with Netbackup 4.5fp


Does anyone know where I can find more information about the recommended
Fragment size when backing up to Disk? It seems that 2GB is the best
setting, but I have a couple of 500GB servers and I am wondering if I
increase the Fragment size will that make things better as far as the amount
of disk space being used.
