Backing Up Data › Specify Multistreaming Options

Specify Multistreaming Options

Arcserve Backup lets you process backup jobs using multistreaming. For more information, see How Multistreaming Processes Backup Data.

To specify multistreaming options

1. Open the Backup Manager window and select the Destination tab.
2. Check the Multistreaming check box.

   Specify a Max (Maximum) Number of Streams to use. The default number of streams is 4. If you installed the Enterprise Module, the supported range is between 2 and 32.

Note: If a backup job with multistreaming spawns child jobs, the actual number of streams spawned will not exceed the number of streams specified for the job. However, if a job spawns child jobs and you do not specify a number of streams to use, the child jobs will be created and backed up in one continuous stream.
