Dedupe is an errand boy, sent by the storage industry, to collect a
bill.

Dedupe is the enemy of throughput.

Funny, but I was researching the TS7650 yesterday and found this article
on the IBM website.  Pretty good detail about the product in a non-TSM
environment.

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tape/ts7650g_esg_validation.pdf

And then this on in the TSM environment. I think this one might have
been written by somebody somewhat less familiar with TSM than we would
be.
Seemed a little heavy handed about TSM.

My overall impression, and I hate all things de-dup, was this is a
pretty good product offering.  I'm sure it's way expensive but
understand there are some follow on products coming that will address
the lower end of this market.

Thanks,

Hi, Sabar.

I couldn't find a TS7569G via Google, but on the TS7650G, also a
deduping VTL, after data goes through the factoring (dedup) algorithm it
is run through a compression algorithm.  You probably won't see much
deduplication, but on the first backup you should see a decrease in size
similar to the decrease you would see from the compression on a tape
drive.

Regards,
Alex

Hi,


Does anyone here has been implementing or know how Dedup works in TSM
using TS7569G ? Let say I have 100 TB of data and backup to this VTL. On
the 1st attempt of backup / full backup, will this data size decrease on
the VTL

BR,

Martin P
