NetBackup for Sybase multiplexing considerations - using more than 12 stripes
If multiplexing striped Sybase database backups, you might require a special configuration to restore them. By default, when restoring from multiplexed backups, NetBackup uses twelve data buffers. This is enough unless you are using more than twelve stripes. If you are using more than 12 stripes, use the following procedure to increase the number of data buffers used by NetBackup.
To increase the amount of data buffers for a restore
- On the master server, use a text editor to create one of the following files:
UNIX or Linux:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE
Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\db\config\NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE
- In the file, enter an integer to specify the number of buffers.
This number is the only entry in the file.
- Save and close the file.
Make sure that editor does not save the file with any file extensions.
