Hi Mark

What type of storage system does this server use to house those 1.5 million 
files?  Depending on your answer, NetWorker may already have a companion 
product that will do very useful and clever things.  I'm referring to the 
NetWorker PowerSnap family of products.  The manuals are on Powerlink 
(http://powerlink.emc.com) at Home > Support > Technical Documentation and 
Advisories > Software ~ J-O ~ Documentation > NetWorker Application and 
PowerSnap Modules, if you'd like a dive into the details.

I know that others have already mentioned SnapImage, so thought I'd broaden the 
discussion to include these other products.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [Networker] recommendation to backup 1.5 million small files?

Hi, what options does networker have to backup a server with lots of small 
files. Each night the backup will be 1.5 million files on two drives on a 
win2003 server. I know that with netbackup i could look at flashsnap backup. Is 
there a competing module that works with networker?
   
  Thanks
