NDMP
Improved Performance for NDMP Restore Operations
During an NDMP restore operation, data is found by directly seeking the requested data instead of by reading data from the beginning of a chunk. Unneeded data is not transferred, so the restore operation completes faster. Restore operations that include deduplicated archive files or data that is distributed across multiple chunks will have the most improvement in performance.
For information about NDMP, see NDMP.
Indexing Version 2 for NDMP Agents
When an NDMP agent is added to the CommCell environment, the agent automatically uses Indexing Version 2.
For more information, see Features and Benefits (Indexing Version 2) and Agents that Use Indexing.

Recalling Files Backed Up in Extents
Extent-based backups break down a file into small independent extents, to speed up backup operations by using multiple data streams. You can recall the files that were backed up in extents.
Extent-based recalls are helpful if the recalled files are large. You can recall the large file in parts and prioritize the recall of parts of that file based on the end-user read request.
For more information, see Recalls of Files Backed Up in Extents.
Reduce the Use of CommServe Resources for MS SQL and Oracle Transaction Log File Backups by Using Disk Caching
You can back up SQL server and Oracle transaction log files to a mounted device on the MediaAgent. Transaction log files are automatically backed up when they reach a threshold based on the specified criteria in the automatic schedule. This is achieved without running multiple jobs for each transaction log file backup operation, which may cause high resource utilization on the CommServe computer. At user-defined intervals, the Scheduler runs a backup job which commits to the CommServe computer all cached log file backups made since the last scheduled commit job. This log file backup method decreases the load on the CommServe computer.
