MEGABYTES_OF_MEMORY option for NetBackup clients
The MEGABYTES_OF_MEMORY entry specifies how much memory is available on the client to use to compress files during backup. If compression is selected, the client software uses this value to determine how much space to request for the compression tables. The more memory that is available to the compress code, the greater the compression. The percentage of computer resources that are used is also greater. If other processes also need memory, use a maximum value of one half the actual physical memory on a computer to avoid excessive swapping.
