Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Increase the number of MSDP jobs gradually

Veritas recommends that you increase the Maximum concurrent jobs value gradually. (The Maximum concurrent jobs is a storage unit setting.) Doing so provides information about the total deduplication load. The initial backup jobs (also known as initial seeding) require more CPU and memory than successive jobs. After initial seeding, the storage server can process more jobs concurrently. You can then gradually increase the jobs value over time.

See About MSDP performance.
