Does anyone know if it is possible to use the NEW_STREAM directive with the listfile option switch when using the bparchive command.

install_path\NetBackup\bin\bparchive [-p policy] [-s schedule][-L

-f listfile | filenames

I know the command has to be run from the client side and relies on a archive backup schedule to exist within the netbackup policy. This all works fines but I am interested in the NEW_STREAM option so as the backup progresses, each stream is written off as a completed job strand and therefore minimizes the potential of the whole backup failing if there is problem at the very end on a large backup job.

Basically on a normal windows policy you can specify:

myfiles1

myfiles2

NEW_STREAM

myfiles3

myfile4

NEW_STREAM

This process breaks down the jobs into manageable sections and is the preferred method when backing up large file servers with multiple volumes.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
