N/AN/ASEGKSIZE
Determines the smallest size file (in KBs) that
NetBackup segments. Files smaller than the
threshold are combined into a single large
segment to reduce the overhead of managing
many smallsegments. However, such segments
have less chance of being deduplicated.
Caution: Large numbers of files smaller than
the threshold may adversely affect backup
performance.

16MINFILE_KSIZE
Specifies that NetBackup should use the
PureDisk Remote Office Agent dynamic
segmentationdeduplicationalgorithm.Enabling
it means that the data that is backed up is
globallydeduplicatedwitheachother.Ifdisabled
(set to 0), PDDO uses a static 128KB
segmentation algorithm for deduplication.
Caution: Changing the default segmentation
algorithm most likely causes the next set of
backups to not deduplicate with the existing
storage pool data. Subsequent backups then
deduplicate using the PDRO algorithm.
