For the DL2000 - Powered by Symantec Backup Exec, the following 
additional configuration settings were used when performing 
backups:
• Each backup client system was configured as a separate backup
job
• The maximum number of concurrent jobs per virtual disk was set
to one (1).
• Consistency checks and backup verification were disabled on all
backup jobs to minimize pre- and post-processing backup times.
• For Software Encryption backups, 128-bit AES keys were used.

compression feature was used. Note: For SQL 2008, the SQL 
Server 2008 Enterprise Edition software compression feature
