Automatic Multi-Streaming Clients

A single NetBackup backup class can automatically create multiple simultaneous client backup sessions and dramatically
increase the performance of the backup. Parallel backup sessions are initiated based on client system mount points or
individual entries (explicit or via wildcards) in the NetBackup class file list.
The automatic multi-streaming client feature can be administrator defined to dynamically "auto-discover" newly created
folders and partitions on a client.
