You can do it by adding

You can do it by adding GROUPSIZE in the beginning of the .bch file.
For more info, have a look at NBU for SQL admin guide.
Extract:
Keyword: GROUPSIZE
Values: integer between 1 and 32
Description: The number of databases that will be snapped as a single SQL Server backup image.

You should be fine with a value of 10 for GROUPSIZE.

Chanels

The STRIPES are what the Chanels are for Oracle DB's.
