New Stream
Good morning all,
I have a problem with a policy using the New Stream on my 7.6 Netbackup running NDMP.
On attributes I ticked "Allow multiple data streams" and on Backup Selections I have:
Vol1
vol2
vol3
NEW_STREAM
vol4
vol5
vol6
My expectation was to have a parent job and two child jobs, so vol1, vol2 and vol3 to go on one job to one tape and vol4, vol5 and vol6 to go on another job to another tape, so my expectation was to have 2 tapes used.
What happened was that Netbackup ran one job for vol1, one job for vol2 and so on until one job to vol6 and one more job that was the parent job, 7 jobs in total.
I don't know what I have done wrong to Netbackup act like this, any idea how to fix this?

Thank you very much!!
Try putting this just before your /vol1 selection
NEW_STREAM
so it looks like this:
NEW_STREAM
/vol1
/vol2
/vol3
NEW_STREAM
/vol4
/vol5
/vol6I've never tried it, so give it a go

Page 22 shows a screenshot showing that NEW_STREAM must come first before your /vol1 selection as I mentioned above. Give it a try and report back.
