Chapter 4, NetBackup Configuration 57
Notes on Offhost Backup and Frozen Images
However, for a FlashBackup class that does not contain any clients configured with a
frozen image method, the file list must specify the files(s) AND a cache partition (the
CACHE= entry). Refer to “File List and Cache” in Chapter 3 of the NetBackup 3.4
FlashBackup System Administrator’s Guide.
Multiple Data Streams
In NetBackup 4.0V, if the Allow multiple data streams class attribute is selected, all streams
must be set to Active for the backup to be successful. This means that all streams must be
able to start at the same time (no backups can be queued waiting for others to complete).
For backups, make sure that the following are set to allow the number of active streams to
be equal to or greater than the number of streams in the file list:
◆ Class attribute: Limit jobs per class
◆ Schedule setting: Media multiplexing
◆ Storage unit setting: Maximum multiplexing per drive
◆ System configuration setting: Maximum jobs per client
Note The Allow multiple data streams attribute is not supported with the Third-Party
Copy Device offhost backup method.
Multiplexing
A backup using the Third-Party Copy Device offhost backup method is incompatible with
multiplexing (the writing of two or more concurrent backup jobs to the same storage
device). To prevent multiplexing on a third-party copy backup, set Maximum multiplexing
per drive to 1 (in the Storage Unit Management utility, on the Change Storage Unit,
Storage Unit Type Properties dialog).
Raw Partition Offhost Backups
When entering a raw partition in the file list for an offhost backup, do not specify a block
device as the raw partition. NetBackup 4.0V does not support offhost backups of block
devices. Instead, specify the raw partition as a character device.
