Curiosity question - the answer to which may have an impact on Backup Performance BE 2014 (still) - I am noticing that if I have a B2D volume configured with [Concurrent Write Sessions] set to [1] using the Storage --> Properties page in the BE GUI ...

So just to provide an update on this project and in case anyone else is looking to accomplish the same operation - in short, it didn't work as anticipated, so save yourself the time. I went through these steps: --Shutting down BE services; --Creat...

(P.S. This is unrelated to migrating the B2D volumes I'd recently inquired about. I'm only just about to begin that process and I don't expect anything to change when complete since that change is hopefully going to be transparent to BE. These inv...
