Hi, Why dont you use the resourceutilization parameter in the dsm.opt file and set it to 4 (try to go up to the maximum 10, and look where you get the best performance..) - so your client will run 4 sessions within one.. no need to start 4 seperate sessions.. the client will also decide what file is backed up via which stream.. no problem..

Mai 2004 18:17 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Command line equivalent for GUI Hi, I'm backing up a NAS device with 1M+ files. As other posts indicate, the only way to get any performance in this setup is to split the file backups across multiple sessions. In my case I have two backup hosts, each running two backup streams. I can start each of the four backup streams using the GUI and selecting appropriate folders. A kind of load balancing is achieved by picking an appropriate mix of folders for each backup stream. Each backup runs in a few hours each stream processing a subset of the 1M files. My problem is I can't figure out how to accomplish the same thing using the command line and associated include/excludes. I'd like to schedule the four streams to run the same way, each with an appropriate set of folders/files to process. It would be wonderful if I could somehow see how this is accomplished via the GUI, as I can't seem to get the same behavior using commands. Each combination I have tried always results in each backup stream processing/scanning all of the 1M files! This takes way too many hours and doesn't provide the same parallel behavior I get when running the GUI. How can I limit each stream to processes only the files/folders I desire without scanning everything; the same way as the GUI seems to function? Thanks for your help, Rodney Hroblak ADP __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
