I recently came across this Veritas TechNote which mentions support for 2 
terabyte files / 32 terabyte filesystems:

TechNote ID: 249916 - Addendum to the VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.5 
Release Notes for Solaris. New feature in VxVM 3.5 is 32-Terabyte volume 
support, link: http://support.veritas.com/docs/249916

We currently run NetBackup 4.5 FP3, which (we found out the hard way) has 
a 1 terabyte-per-stream limit.

We installed an EMC SAN and several EVA SAN's last year, and now have 
numerous multi-terabyte servers.  We had to enable multiple streams for 
certain clients just to ensure NetBackup didn't keel over after pushing 
the first terabyte.  Recently one group here started allocating individual 
filesystems over 1 terabyte.  Just enabling multiple streams and using 
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES isn't going to cut it much longer.

So, are any of the latest Veritas NetBackup releases going to be capable 
of coping with the latest Veritas Volume Manager file/filesystem maxsizes 
soon?

-rsvp, thanks
