Ang: Large fileserver on VMware design questions

2010-06-24 Thread Daniel Sparrman
Hi there I'm not sure how many files you will be holding in this fileserver cluster, but at some point you will reach a soft limit where inspecting the files will take to long for the backup to be done within a reasonable amount of time. Another way of approaching large fileservers and the

I agree with Remco regarding the use of MSCS clusters in a VMWare environment. We currently have an MSCS fileserver cluster on physical machines, but we are debating moving to multiple, smaller vm's (or a single filer, as per my previous post - although all the drawbacks of NDMP that everyone

incremental backup of many millions of very small files

2010-06-24 Thread Mehdi Salehi
Hi, Can TSM Fastback be a good solution to backup an NTFS filesystem (about 500GB) with tens of millions of files? The daily increment of this filesystem is about 10-15 GB. Currently we use full daily image backups with b/a client. Because incremental (even journaling) is not feasible and

Hi Mehdi Yes, since Fastback uses VSS snapshot technology on a block-level, you will get past the problem of TSM inspecting millions of files. Best Regards Daniel Sparrman -ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU skrev: - Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Från: Mehdi Salehi
