I haven't used this but perhaps someone in this list can verify/explain the
use of:
..from admin guide..
In addition to the above, the following environment variables can be used
for the support
of multiple data streams:
STREAM_NUMBER indicates the stream number. The first stream started from a
policy,
client, and schedule will be 1. A value of 0, indicates that multiple data
streams is not
enabled.
STREAM_COUNT specifies the total number of streams to be generated from this
policy,
client, and schedule.
STREAM_PID is the pid (process ID) number of bpbkar.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] stop & start anti-virus from a script?

We back up several network drives (netapp cifs shares) through one windows
client.  I would like to disable anti-virus on that client during backups to
increase the speed.  I tried setting it to only scan inbound files but we
have some automatic policies that turn the outbound scanning back on every 5
min.

I would like to use bpstart_notify and bpend_notify to do this, but there
are several streams being backed up concurrently on the same box.
I can't put an end_notify on each stream, since the anti-virus would be
turned back on once the first stream ends, regardless of how many other
backup streams are running.  Has anyone found a workaround?  Is there a way
to check if there are current or queued backups for that server in the
bpend_notify, so that it only turns anti-virus off after the last job
completes?

Thanks
Alec Browne
