Hi Mark,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Multi-stream has been enabled but we are not using wild cards for the
file listing of the class. However all sites have been configured this
way but some don't exhibit this type of behaviour.
Should there be something else that we should be looking for?
I have seen this sort of behaviour before on internet examples but as I
said I need to know whether this is normal Netbackup behaviour.
Cheers,
Nick

I suspect the ones that are splitting jobs are multistreamed (check main
GUI page, "allow multiple streams" checkbox") and that you're using
wildcards.
In the absence of "NEW_STREAM" directives in filelist, wild-cards in the
filelist will split into individual jobs if multi-stream is enabled.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Quirky Activity Monitor output
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
