/WINDOW=[FULL]LIMITED Specifies the number of mapping pointers to be allocated for file windows. By default, file window has 7 mapping pointers and it increases as file is more fragmented. Window is taken from nonpaged pool and is charged against process BYTLM quota. This may result in performance degrade when BACKUP tries to map the 8th extent of the file. Contiguous files are always completely mapped, but noncontiguous files may or may not be completely mapped. You can use the following keywords with the /WINDOW qualifier: FULL Default full mapping. LIMITED Optional limited size window.
