Designed for system administrators and managers alike, it focuses on features, policies, procedures and the human element to ensuring that your company has a suitable and working backup system rather than just a bunch of copies made by unrelated software, hardware and processes.

    Hi Preston,

    it is indeed the size of the compressed data transfered from the client. I use compression in conjunction with staging when:
    – there is no de-duplication
    – the client has fast cpus
    – the data is “good” (> 1.5 :1 ratio) compressable (text files, database dumps, and so on but NO mp3, mpg, avi, already compressed files)
    – or the bandwidth between client and storage node i small

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
