Hi,
Let me update this RFE and specify that this feature would be greatly apprectied by those who are using ProtecTier. Indeed the single stream performance combined with this single thread per VM is big issue when you have to protect big virtual machine (let's say bigger than 300GB ) .
The per VM multithread feature would allow user to leverage the PT performance when doing backups thourgh multi streams...
Please carrefully considere this as an important pre requisite , since it is one of the biggest issue we are facing when deploying TSM-VE in VMware environment hosting bigger and bigger VM. LAstely, since the DP for VMware provide MS-SQL and Exchange selfcontains backups, it make even more sense to increase the possible backup speed , again, by backing up multiple VMDK of the same VM at the same time (thus multi thread VM backup )
