Hello Steve , Here are some figures
I use TDP for VE 6.4 ( Incremental forever ) I keep 14 generations / Days of backup On one of my instance , I backup 72 VM machines ( 90 % are Windows 10 % Linux ) I have 6.7 TB of primary storage used for those 72 VM on my tsm server ( no dedup / no compression ) I checked last night backup stats It did restore 1.4 GB ( control files to manage its incremental ) And backed up 130 GB in 1h 45 ( I have a limit of max 6 VM backup in parallel to limit resource utilization ) Not sure if that helps...

Clients are linux and Windows under Vmware This customer has been using standard BA client backups up until now, ie incremental forever, and the new env will be TSM for VE with the backend being tape rather than disk so no dedup possible. Given that TSM for VE uses some funky differential backup technology on the changed blocks, how much data does your typical VE installation backup per day per protected TB? Anyone with real world data out there? Sorry it is such an open question but anything you can give me is better than a stab inthe dark. Regards Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin Canberra Australia
