DYNAMIC_STREAMING_START_CHILD_BACKUP_JOBS_TIMEOUT
The DYNAMIC_STREAMING_START_CHILD_BACKUP_JOBS_TIMEOUT configuration option specifies the default timeout value of child job for dynamic data streaming for the NAS-Data-Protection policy. After the parent Backup from Snapshot job is triggered, NetBackup starts the NBCS process which pre-processes the child backup jobs. After the pre-processing, NBCS waits for all child jobs to be start after which it allocates a filelist to child jobs for backup. NBCS doesn't start this activity unless all child jobs have started and ready to receive the filelist. By default, the NBCS process waits for 600 seconds for all child jobs to start. Depending on the number of streams per volume set for the NAS-Data-Protection policy and the total number of volumes to be backed up at a given time, the child jobs might take longer to start.
