Thomas
we don't use caching on our diskpools.
I know we should direct SAPbackups to tape ... and for our bigger systems we
do ...
you wrote:
"Your FS backup gives you the network data transfer rate, whereas the
DB backup gives you a number including network data transfer rate,
tape mount/unmount times etc. "
then fs backups is by default faster than db backups assuming one uses same
network and disk (in stead of tape) ?

Hi Ruud,
in the ADSM-L archives you will find a thread about backing up to disk or
tape.
The recommandation was to backup SAP R/3 directly to tape because you could
use more drives, keep the tapes streaming and avoid disk latency.
See thread: "Backup faster to tape than disk"
Do you use caching on your disk storagepools?
Kind regards

Betreff: fs backup versus database backup
Hi
FS backup:
Network data transfer rate: 56,265.13 KB/sec i.e. 56Mb/sec
starttime 02:30 endtime 02:55
ANE4961I (Session: 4073, Node: RYSAP380) Total number of
bytes transferred: 396.77 MB
Database backup:
BKI1215I: Average transmission rate was 97.247 GB/h (27.661 MB/sec).
starttime 20:00 endtime 23:40
BR061I 471 files found for backup, total size 360069.555 MB
Both backups go over Gb links
Why FS backup faster than DB backup , i would expect the other way around ??
