Dynamic streaming parameters
Dynamic streaming as the name suggests is a group of backup streams running in parallel which dynamically distributes files for backups amongst them for optimized and fast backup of dense NAS volumes or shares.
Maximum number of streams per volume: The value will determine the number of backup streams that will be deployed for backing up each volume.
For example, If a policy contains 10 volumes and the value of this parameter is set to 4, then you will see group of 4 backup streams for each volume, thereby total of 40 child backup streams and 10 parent backup streams as part of backup execution of the policy.
Maximum number of files in a batch: The value will determine the maximum of files that will be processed in a single burst by any stream. The files in this batch will be processed sequentially within the stream.
For example, Value of 300 for this parameter will mean that every stream will be assigned maximum of 300 files in a single batch. So if a volume has one million files to be backed up and 4 streams assigned, then every stream will be assigned 300 files each to begin with and then subsequently the streams will be fed with 300 more files as and when they are ready for more backup processing.
