You can run a TDP Backup Stream per Message store... You just have to do tdpexe backup cmmds for each. Works well

There is no method of creating parallel backup streams in the TDP for Exchange product (unlike it's SQL counterpart). The only way to accomplish something similar is to break your backup script into multiple jobs, each backing up a specific storage group. Of course, that also requires multiple node names, schedulers, etc. Steve Schaub Systems Engineer, Windows Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Harris Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 1:21 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Multiple Backup Streams with exchange. I continue to find new corners of this product to explore - or maybe its grope blindly in the dark ! I have a customer with an exchange cluster TDP 5.3.3.1 backing up to a Win 2k3 server running tsm 5.3.4. Storage agents are installed on both sides of the cluster at 5.3.4. Exchange backups work fine, but the mail store has grown and they are spilling into the online day - there are 4 drives available, but backups only use one. Maxnummp for the node is set to 4. I've been through the TDP for Exchange and Storage Agent manuals and can see nothing that addresses a number of parallel streams. I've tried searching but obviously haven't come up with the right set of keywords. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin, Sydney Australia.
