Sharing reservations in NetBackup
To improve performance, NetBackup allows shared reservations. NetBackup shares reservations by default. With shared reservations, multiple jobs can reserve the same media, though only one job can use it at a time. In other words, the second job does not have to wait for the first job to terminate. The second job can access the media as soon as the first job is done with it.
To enable the sharing of reservations
- Create the following file:
On UNIX
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/RB_USE_SHARED_RESERVATIONS
On Windows
install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config\RB_USE_SHARED_RESERVATIONS
