Re: [Veritas-bu] FlashBacup - Restore Question

Hi Stefanos

Thanks .... but in a DR scenario... where you would have to restore all the Data, would FlashBackup-Windows be quick?

Hello Simon.

I can answer you only to the first question.

Unfortunately the file restore of a single file can take as long as a full restore, as netbackup has to read the backup to find the file. If the file is in the beginning of the backup, then it is fast, else….

For the 3ed, you can always create multiple policies.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] FlashBacup - Restore Question

Hi,
I am evaluating FlashBackup-Windows. I am backing up a 1.8TB Volume, with millions of 1kb files and via SAN, its taking 3 days.

During a quck FB-Windows Test Policy, I got this down to 7 hours. However, 2 questions:-

1) Not been able to test, but is there a downside to restore times for this type of volume
2) I read a Technote, that when restoring FB-Windows, certain files dont get restored, like Outlook .pst files. Now, I cannot find the Technote, but I wondered if that was fixed in 7.0.1

3) The Server has 5 volumes, but it does not look like you can "stream" jobs. Does anyone have a policy where it contains multiple volumes for a single client. And can you improve the performance? I could Multiplex I guess.

Thanks

Regards

Simon
