Storage Page; Backup Stream - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

Storage page

File, Directory, and Volume
Use the Storage page to configure the Backup stream for this object.
Data Protector Express is capable of controlling multiple concurrent data streams simultaneously (up to
eight streams per device). Data streams are automatically created for each machine object. To view this
setting for a machine, open the Stream Control page for the machine.
The number of concurrent data streams that you can create is controlled by your Data Protector
Express license. If your data storage needs have increased, consider upgrading your license to
accommodate more data streams.
By default, new data streams are created for each volume, while files and directories use the data stream
of their parent volume by default. For files, directories and volumes, these settings can be modified.
Determines whether or not a new data stream is created for the current object.
Data Protector Express does not create a new stream for this object. This is the
default value for directories and files.
Select this setting for a volume when you do not want to create a new stream for that volume. For
example, you may wish to not create an additional stream when the volume is only a logical partition—
not a physically separate device.
Data Protector Express will create a new stream for this object when running a backup
job. This is the default value for volumes.
