  • You can set your concurrent write session on your storage device to the number of jobs you want to run at the same time.  "The number of jobs varies depending on
    your hardware and environment, so you
    may need to adjust this setting more than
    once. Symantec recommends that you set
    it low enough to avoid overloading your
    system, but high enough to process your
    jobs in a timely manner."  copied from the Backup Exec 15 admin guide 

  • No. Each VM is backed up consecutively
  • Hello Imosla, thanks

     

    Yes you can set the number of current jobs in the storage unit, however my questions is not that, my question is if BE15 can backup more than one vmware vm at the same time in the same policy

  • Why can't you create separate policies (I assume you actually mean Job Definitions) if you want to backup muliple VMs in parallel?

     

    Bascially the limitation you describe is not really something we are intending to change as within any single backup job definition the individual selected resources are always backed up in a serial fashion (and this is not just for VMware jobs)
