There is good advice in the manuals, however to understand it a
little better............
Within your storage unit, you probably have multiple drives
defined. In this example, lets say you have 2 Tape Drives. In the properties of
the Storage unit, you can configure how many jobs are multiplexed onto the
drive. this will tell NBU it can multiplex onto any single "drive" within your
storage unit configured".
I
think the Max you can have is 32. NBU sends multiplex backups from one or many
clients to a single drive and this is then backed up to
media.
Within your POLICY, in the Schedule, you can configure how many
streams you want multiplex into a drive as well
:-)
So, lets assume you have a Policy with 8 streams and you want to
use TWO Drives.... configure the schedule to Multiplex 4 streams onto 1 drive -
thus 4 streams written to drive 1 and 4 to drive 2. (assuming the drives are
free otherwise they queue).
That is my basic understanding of
it!
Does this help?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] multiplexingCan someone explain what this does? How can I backup data and have it stripped across more drives to speed a back up faster? We are having a "discussion" about this and how multiplexing works versus data streaming.
Thanks
