There used to be an option in the 8.x days of BUE for handling a server
with millions of small files. The idea was to backup the images (or
whatever that data was) as blocks of data and then backup the metadata
separately. This would be faster than grabbing each file individually.
I don't see that option in newer versions and was wondering if it was
rolled into another option like ADBO or was simply handled by the
regular agent.
I need to handle about 35 million files. If everything works as planned
(we're testing now) I would only need to make an initial pass on those
35 million files and then the remaining backups going forward would be
incremental. I would build synthetic backups on the backend disk and
dupe the synthetics to tape.
Anyone have any insight into this? How are you handling millions of
files with BUE?
