Like it says in the document, it's a recommendation and not a technical limit. However, having the server running at 100% utilization all the time doesnt seem like a healthy scenario. Why arent you deduplicating files larger than 1GB? From my experience, datafiles from SQL, Exchange and such

I'm not fully aware of how the DD replicates data, but if you have 15-20TB/day being written to your main DD, and that data is then replicated to the off-site DD, how much data is actually replicated? With a 1Gbs connection, you could hit values up to 360GB/s hour (expecting 100MB/s which

Preschedule problem with ESSbase backup.

Hi TSM's I have a preschedule command to be run two cmd files to put an Essbase in read / only mode and then dump the database into a flat file. When the first COMAND is finished it must start another command file to do the same, just on a different base. But when the first command is finished

Yepp, we have the same thing with our Sepaton, all deduplication is done inline. Reason I asked is because there seems to be other manufacturers who needs a 2nd box todo deduplication. Regards Daniel Daniel Sparrman Exist i Stockholm AB Växel: 08-754 98 00 Fax: 08-754 97 30

So the data is both deduplicated and compressed before you send it offsite? Yes, that is how the DD handles replication. DD is a inline dedup system. When data come into the DD it is deduped, what is left is compressed, then it is written to disk. Only the new unique data is replicated.

Richard, excellent comments! I will add that to TSM is just storage and has no idea about the deduplication, compression, etc. that DD performs, thus making it challenging to determine the actual storage utilization from an individual client and/or file space perspective. Secondly, aside

The elephants in the room: It is tempting, once DD gets in the door, to move all database backups (the typical TDP/RMAN and SQLLiteSpeed stuff) to go directly to DD. (No TSM involved, so save money on licenses?) Combinations that have more advanced communications with the back end storage

Good questions: We are currently working on a project that is using ProtectTIER. The ProtectTIER 7650G is does dedup. It looks like a TS3500 w LTO drive. We will be getting another 7650G at a second data center. The idea is to to cross-replicate between data centers. -Original

The elephant has left the building. Do you get the same advanced features by just dumping data onto a DD as you do with the TSM TDP clients? Exmerge anyone? Or perhaps an SQL dump? Still have todo filebackups, or wait, why not just use robocopy and copy it onto the DD? Or what the heck, just

Backing up EMC SourceOne

2011-09-29 Thread Bill Boyer
Anyone out there backing up a multiple server SourceOne configuration? This is the replacement product for MailXtender. There is a script to run preschedule to set SourceOne up for backup. And then you also have to backup the other servers in the SourceOne configuration while this is 'Paused'.

Hi Daniel, My main point was to say that your previous posts seemed to be saying that dedup storagepools were recommended to be 6 TB in size at most. It is my understanding the 6TB recommendation was a daily server thruput maximum design target when dedup is in use. I agree, a processor at
