The Collect File records the path and name of each scanned file that is included in the backup. When you back up large amounts of data, large collect files are generated. You can divide the content into several smaller collect files to reduce the time taken by a data reader to read the collect file.
By default, the number of collect files is equal to twice the number of data readers (2 x Number of Data Readers). Two is a multiplication factor which is the number of Collect files that are created for the job. You can change the multiplication factor.
Note
Select the Allow multiple data readers within a drive or mount point option on the Performance tab of the Advanced Subclient Properties dialog box.
