Hi there,

 

I just have set up 5 separate offices to use NetBackup Business Server
3.4.

 

Each is running their own business server on Solaris.

 

All are just backing up one client.

 

All are configured to run a full backup on a Tuesday at 22:30.

 

All are configured to run differential-incremental backups under one
policy on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

 

My question is that when I run the Activity Monitor on two of the sites
it shows successful jobs for both the Full and differential-incremental
but the jobs are split into smaller jobs so that I will get 3 job ids
for a scheduled backup. So it appears that the backup job is being split
into smaller chunks.

 

When you drill down into these job IDs one job is 32K, and the other two
are larger, but different sizes.

 

Can you tell me whether this is normal Netbackup behavior?

 

If it is why does the NetBackup break the scheduled jobs up for some
sites but not all?

 

If not is there something that I might be doing wrong.

 

Cheers,

 

Nick
