Re: [Networker] Question about long distance backup tuning
2011-03-30 09:11:52
We have a 10 GB connection to the outside world and we have a very nice
connection since we are on the Supercomputing infrastructure pipeline. I am
just curious if there are any networker settings that will help improve te
speed. The data is not more than about 3 - 5 TB. Not familiar with BIGASM?
Thanks for your time Frank. I really appreciate it. We cannot go down the
avamar path. We are locked into Legato with SAM/QFS on back end.

Good morning, Matt,
How big is the pipe and how much data? Have you determined where the
bottleneck is? If you
got 100% of the pipe between you and the remote system, how long should it take
to copy that
data? Did you use bigasm to see what the network could push from the remote
sites?
I'm wondering if you may have fallen into the area where avamar with it's
client-side de-duping
might be a good fit.
