I am using IDS 7.31 UC7/ Veritas Netbackup 3.4 for Informix.
I believe my 5 Tb (Mainly Blobspaces) database backup is not performing as it should because it is not using the "multiple data streams" facility in Veritas Netbackup.
When setting up an Informix Onbar class in Netbackup the option for multiple data streams is not highlighted therefore it cannot be selected. However by setting the class to a standard backup the multiple data streams option is available for selection. In fact the multiple data streams option is available for the Windows NT class also.
I believe that this multiple data streams option is necessary in order to ensure my backup completes within a reasonable window (36hrs). Is there another way that this MDS option can be set i.e. in the bpconfig file ?
If you have an Informix database containing more than 3 TB of blob data let me know your experiences with Onbar.
Cheers
