Depending on your server setup there will be a fight for tapes. Turning collocation ON for your onsite pools would greatly increase the time to create backup sets. I have 4 backup sets running every 2nd day at once (I have 10 drives which leaves 2 drive available to do restores.) I have also noticed that you are unable to perform storage pool backups during the creation of backup sets (it keeps canceling the process).
Joe Cascanette The Cumis Group Limited PS - each backup set will use its own tape(s), I have a PRM (and others do as well) to correct this problem. -----Original Message----- From: John Naylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 5:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How many concurrent backupsets? After one weekend of selective full backups increased the size of the database by 20% , I have managed to talk management round to replacing them with backupsets. So all I have to do now is fit them into the available window. So the question is Has anyone noticed any constraints on the number of generate backup sets that can be run concurrently, before they start impacting on each other? Is availability of tape drives going to be the only real constraint? Has anyone wriiten backupsets to file devices to overcome drive shortages? Any problems with this?
