Formula for Maximum jobs per client

You can use the following formula to calculate a smaller value for the Maximum jobs per client setting:

Maximum jobs per client = number_of_streams X number_of_policies

Refer to the following definitions:

number_of_streams

The number of backup streams between the database server and NetBackup. If striping is not used, each separate stream starts a new backup job on the client. If striping is used, each new job uses one stream per stripe.

number_of_policies

The number of policies of any type that can back up this client at the same time. This number can be greater than one. For example, a client can be in two policies in order to back up two different databases. These backup windows can overlap.
