What is a standard configuration with NetWorker to backup a system
with a large amount of data? We have systems with 600-1000MB file
systems, and MSSQL systems with 2-4TBs of data. With our 100BaseT
network connections these clients can take days to backup. What is
a better way, GigE, StorageNodes, VTLs, Data Deduplication...?
This depends on your needs. How fast do you want to recover the data?
GigE would be a big step up from your current network, but even more
potent would be any of the other options you listed. Which option to
go with depends a lot on your environment and budget. What is the
configuration of the NetWorker server you are using now to back up
this client? What kind of tape library do you have? How far apart are
the client and server? Do you do hot backups or cold of your SQL data?
