Determine the effect of multistreamed backups

On the Itemization tab, sort the list by the Accuracy column. Find all backups that list Possible multi-stream backup detected and make a note of the policy name under the Policy Name column. Open the log file that was generated when the nbdeployutil --report command ran. By default, the log file is in the directory where the gathered report is located.

Note:

If OpsCenter generated the report, the log file is found on the OpsCenter server. The email with the report results contains a link to the log file location. The log file name is in the format nbdeployutil-report-timestamp-log.

In the log file, find the policy name for the policy in question and look at the corresponding MAX value. The excerpt from a log file that is shown highlights the information discussed.
