Can't speak to Exagrid, but think of the DD boxes as if they are NAS devices. My (older model) 530 can ingest data as fast as I can throw information at it.
Regarding speed, I suppose too slow is as too slow does. GigE is fast enough for my backups given their size. Here are some statistics about amount of data written over the last week and compression ratios. Pre-Comp (GB) Post-Comp(GB) Global-Comp Factor Local-Comp Factor Total-Comp Factor (Reduction %) --------------- -------- --------- ----------- ---------- ------------- Last 7 days 8718.2 331.9 18.6x 1.4x 26.3x (96.2) Last 24 hrs 1412.1 40.1 24.2x 1.5x 35.3x (97.2) --------------- -------- --------- ----------- ---------- ------------- On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:55 AM, Jon D <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to wrap my head around the speed of backup appliances like Data > Domain and Exagrid. > The thing that doesn't make sense to me is the backups are going across > Cat5. > It seems like they would be really slow for a full backup. > > I know you can combine ports, but how much does that really help? > > Can anyone tell me how much data a full backup is for them, and how long > it takes their Data Domain or Exagrid to back it up? > > > > Thanks in advace, > Jon > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: > http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to [email protected] > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
