About File Fragmentation
File fragmentation on LTO tape allows partial file restore when a tape is moved to a system running
XenData6 Server. When file fragmentation is enabled, any file larger than the fragment size is 'sliced' into
multiple fragment files before being written to tape. When restored, the fragment files are transparently
concatenated by XenData software to recreate the original archived file.
XenData6 Workstation does not support partial restore, but XenData6 Server does. File fragmentation
should be enabled for tapes that may be moved to a tape library under control of XenData6 Server when
partial file restores are required.
File fragmentation is enabled for a Volume Set and, when enabled, the fragment size must be defined.
Typically, a good value is in the range 5GB to 10GB. Configuring file fragmentation is described in
Configure New Volume Sets (2.6).
