I just talked to my windows admin and we're pretty sure that adding specific 
paths to your backup selections should add additional streams to your backup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Mount Points and Jobs


When backing up Unix servers, allowing multiple data streams will cause 
Netbackup's stream discovery to create one job for each mounted filesystem.  
However on Windows, it creates one job for each drive letter, regardless of the 
number of mounted filesystems beneath each drive letter.

We are creating separate filesystems and mount points on Windows precisely 
because it breaks backups into smaller, more managable jobs.  Does anyone know 
a way to get Netbackup's stream discovery to create one job for each mounted 
filesystem on Windows? (i.e. more granular than one job per drive letter)

If that's not possible, I'm considering ways to do my own stream discovery via 
scripts and kick off one job per filesystem myself (and turning off the Cross 
Mount Points option).  Anyone have experience with that approach? (I'm already 
aware of mountvol.)
