NEW_STREAM directive

The NEW_STREAM directive is recognized only if Allow multiple data streams is set for the policy. NEW_STREAM directives are ignored if Allow multiple data streams is not set.

If this directive is used in a backup selections list, the first instance of it must be on the first line. If it appears on the first line, it can also appear elsewhere in the list.

The presence of NEW_STREAM on the first line of the backup selections list determines how the backup is performed in the following modes: in administrator-defined streaming or in the auto-discovery streaming.
