The value of number of backup connections restricts the maximum number of stripes for an archived database because Backup Server requires one user connection per stripe when you run dump or load database, and requires an extra connection to run the dump database command.

number of backup connections is a limit, and does not consume any resources. Setting number of backup connections to 0 means that Backup Server can use the maximum number of user connections.
