Container

The name of the selected container appears here.

Block size

The default block size is 512 KiB. The block size cannot be changed for Quest DR Series systems.

Stream Limit

The default value for this setting is 64 streams. This setting applies to all NetVault Backup Servers to which the container is added. If the number of data streams exceeds the defined limit for the container, the Media Manager reports an error (“Device has too many streams”).

You can set the soft stream limit to any value between 1 and 512.

If the container is added to more than one NetVault Backup Server, set the same soft stream limit on all servers.

Force Add

If the device is already added to another NetVault Backup Server with the same name, select the Force Add check box. This option can be useful if you have performed a disaster recovery to rebuild the NetVault Backup Server.

NOTE: The Quest DR Series systems support three deduplication modes:
•
Passthrough: When this mode is selected, deduplication processing occurs on the Quest DR Series system. The passthrough mode requires at least 200 MB of free memory on the NetVault Backup Client.
•
Optimized: When this mode is selected, deduplication processing occurs on the NetVault Backup Client. The Optimized mode requires at least 4 GB of free memory on the NetVault Backup Client.
•
Auto: When this mode is selected, NetVault Backup decides the deduplication mode (Passthrough or Optimized) based on the criteria for Passthrough and Optimized.
