Hi Daniel,
We we're looking into very much the same solution you've tested. Thanks
for your advise. I think we will look for something else. :)
Just out of curiosity, what ZFS tweaking did you do? And what much
pricier competitor solution did you end up with in the end?
Regards,
IMHO, if U use the backup SW that support dedupe in the SW then ZFS is
still a viable solution

Hi,
What sort of compression ratio do you get?

Hello,
we use ZFS on Solaris 10u8 as a backup to disk solution with EMC Networker.
We use the standard recordsize 128k and zfs compression.
Dedup we can't use, because of
Wow, not bad!
What is your CPU penalty for enabling compression?

Not noticeable on the server side. The NBU servers are M4000 with 4
dual core CPUs, so we have (effectively) 16 CPUs and 16 GB of RAM. The
load does climb

Stop! Don't do it... it's a waste of time. We tried exactly what
you're thinking of... we bought two Sun/Oracle 7000 series storage
units with 20TB of ZFS storage each planning to use them as a backup
target for Networker. We ran into several issues eventually gave up
the ZFS networker
Hi,
We are considering using a ZFS based storage as a staging disk for Networker.
We're aiming at
providing enough storage to be able to keep 3 months worth of backups on disk,
before it's moved
to tape.
To provide storage for 3 months of backups, we want to utilize the dedup
functionality in

got hardly any dedup at all. (Something like 3%; compression gave us
much better results.) Tiny changes in block alignment completely
