AW: Looking for suggestions to speed up restore for a Windows server

2007-08-28 Thread Salak Juraj
I can second to Kelly. On my old file server I had slow restores because of many files to create even though my directories were kept on TSM on disk storage pool. The bottleneck was file creation rate on file server. Monthly image backups helped great. Best Juraj -Ursprüngliche Nachricht

Tom, Having just gone through a similar scenario 2 weeks ago, here was my very non-technical fix: (me) "Hello, end-user? I'm not going to be able to get your 800GB of data restored in 2 hours like you want. Care to narrow down the restore to what you really need?" (end-user) "Oh. Well, we rea

I have now verified with two other de-dupe vendors (Falconstor & SEPATON) that Oracle multiplexing is not an issue for them. (I also have a question in to Diligent to verify that this accurately reflects the way their product works. They said they would get back to me today.) Having said that, I

Packaging issues with TDP for Oracle on Linux

This is mostly aimed at Del, the IBM TDP guru, but all help is appreciated. We are having fits trying to install the 5.4 release of the TDP for Oracle on Linux, due to it coming in a ".bin", Java-based installer rather than a standard rpm. The boxes we are trying to install this on do not have Ja

FWIW, I had a problem the other year where the TSM server was in SENDW for 30-40 seconds for every minute during a restore and it had to do with the filesystem attempting to check quotas for the 125k users in the filesystem. Disabling quota checks helped that one go much faster. -Jonat

Tom, It wasn't a study, but a series of observations based on some testing that I did. I've maintained that one can create somewhere between 50K and 100K files/hour on windows. Looking at your restore time of 60 hours, I'm thinking you're in the 50K range. I think that Windows 2003 R2 latest ve

That sounds about right. Data Domain's a good product with a lot of happy customers, but TSM customers who are only backing up files and only keeping 3 versions aren't going to be among them. ;) You've got to backup database/app/email type data that does recurring full backups and/or keep a whole
