This issue has been solved. See solution.
NUMBER OF BUFFERS PER STRIPE
TheNUMBEROFBUFFERSPERSTRIPE parameter affects buffer space availability.
This parameter is set in the NetBackupMSSQL Client interface for each operation.
NetBackup uses this parameter to decide how many buffers to allocate for reading
or writing each data stream during a backup or restore operation. By allocating
a greater number of buffers, you can affect how quickly NetBackup can send data
to the NetBackup master server.
The default value for the NUMBER OF BUFFERS PER STRIPE is 2, which allows
double buffering. You may get slightly better performance by increasing this value
to a higher value.

Totally agree with Yasuhisa.
If this was my environment, I would be more concerned about the fact that SQL 7.1 is no longer supported.

With buffers,what does it exactly means?
It is an popular word in computer engineering and IT. In general, it means memory spaces revered to store data temporary.
In this case, to backup SQL Server databases, NetBackup SQL Server agent on the client host read data from SQL Server, and transfer it to media server. Buffer is required in these operations.

NUMBER OF BUFFERS PER STRIPE -512 KB
Then in this case data will be transferred to media server in buffer of 512 kb?
