Performing SharePoint backups with multiple data streams
NetBackup lets you divide a backup so that each job backs up only a part of the backup selections list. To divide the backup into multiple jobs, insert the NEW_STREAM directive at a certain point or points in the backup selections list to define where each stream begins.
Backup jobs are divided as follows:
When you specify NEW_STREAM directives in your policy, NetBackup creates a new job for each NEW_STREAM directive in the policy.
If you use wildcard characters to define SharePoint objects in the backup selections list, those objects are backed up in the same stream.
When you back up multiple SharePoint databases, NetBackup groups the backup jobs by the selected server.
For more information on the multiple data streams feature, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
