Folks, This week, I've started having issues with my NDMP backups. We're backing up a Mirapoint mail appliance via it's built-in 10/100MB interface (Gig is here, so hopefully performance will improve shortly). The backup is set to start at 1:00AM and has usually been running after 8:00AM

[Veritas-bu] compression to disk staging unit

2006-05-19 Thread Bob Stump
Is it wrong to use software compression in a policy thatuses a disk staging unit for the storage unit? Will this result in slower migration or negative compression during the migration phase to a tape drive that uses hardware compression?

Title: Message Bob My guess would be yes - as I do not see what benefit you get if you are trying to software compress if the hardware compression is also in place. And I think the compression in NBU will only compress what it feels it can. Regards Simon Weaver3rd Line Technical

I've done this. Benefits: 1. less space taken up on disk storage unit. 2. If network is slow, then less data across the network. This can actually increase backup speeds if the network is the bottleneck but, in my experience, you'd have to be running a pretty slow link to see this

I think if you turn on software compression this only applies to the data in-flight, i.e. it is compressed by the client but decompressed by the server, regardless of the type of storage unit. It is designed to be used for slow links, where the CPU overhead at each end is more than
