hi,
sorry i did not tell in detail...actually we are using sdlt tape drives of 320
GB capacity
And whereas in the case of netapp filer..what we have done is that now we have
mapped the drives of filer in a windows server. So now the client is windows
server. And when the backup is taken the maapped drives of the filers are also
backed up....
Please can u suggest on the way how we can enable compression in this case..?
The best compression will come by using the compression of the SDLT
drives. If you insist on using software compression you do this by
selecting "NT with compression directives" in the client resource. If
you do this I suggest that you force the tape drives NOT to compress, as
double compressing negates the effect and sometimes ends up backing up
more data than just using hardware or software compression.
Software compression is (IMHO) best reserved for those cases where the
client is connected to the storage node via a very slow network connection.
