Previous Topic: Second Backup Job Failed


Data is Written to Only One Storage Device

Valid on Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems.

Symptom

The multistreaming parameter set to true, the MAXSTREAMS value set to 2, and there are two available storage devices. However, Arcserve Backup writes backup data to only one storage device.

Solution

Multistreaming backups are based on the parameter values that you specify. If the MAXSTREAMS value specified is 2, and the second storage device is in use during the backup, or there is only one file system on the operating system, Arcserve Backup writes the backup data to to only one storage device.
