Dear All I need advice regarding having several storage daemons that share the MySQL database and discs (using NFS) but one storage daemon manages the tape unit.
All backups go to disc but the Full backups are migrated to tape overnight. The reason for asking this question is that we backup 60 laptops during the working week between 9 am and 4 pm with 12 having a full backup on one of the week days. The problem is the network is saturated and some clients are slow and others have large amounts of data. (Applications etc are not backed up only user data). I suspect the NFS and MySQL traffic may negate any gain by having extra storage daemons. Another option is to see if bonding two network adapters may work.
