2. To configure the D2D NAS share select BasicDisk. The following example shows the configuration screen for a new storage unit for the media server in the test configuration shown in Figure 4. The share is specified as the IP address and sharename. The media server has the name of the media server 'auriga'. NOTE: The Storage Units define the logical link between backup destinations and media servers. It is possible in advanced configurations to specify a 'group' of Storage Units. Symantec do not recommend configuring multiple storage units to the same share. This is because the individual storage units will assume that they have exclusive access. In order to increase the number of streams to optimize D2D performance, increase the Maximum concurrent jobs for the storage unit. (This equates to number of tape drives in a real tape library.) However, be careful that the maximum streams the D2D can manage is not exceeded (see Appendix A). It is good practice to group servers together by application. For example, arrange that file and print servers are backed up to the same share if they are likely to contain some degree of duplicate data because this will improve deduplication results.

The maximum fragment size defaults to 524287. The data is stored on disk in fragments to ensure that the backups do not exceed the maximum size file allowed by the file system.

The following example shows the configuration screen for a new storage unit for the media
server in the test configuration shown in Figure 4. The share is specified as the IP address and
