Hi Tim,
A quick example, one of our groups that backs up the bulk of our fileservers,
both of these examples are running a full backup
Running Networker 7.6.x - client to storage node (running DDBoost) to Data
Domain
took from Friday Evening@ 23:00 thru to Monday afternoon @
15:45 - about 2 days 15 hours
Running Networker 8.0.0.x - client to Data Domain (using client Direct)
took from Friday Evening @ 23:00 thru to Sunday morning @ 06:50
- about 1 day 7 hours
We upgraded to Networker 8 in late January, and looking at some graphs for
CPU/RAM and Network utilization we are seeing an increase in CPU and RAM
(fairly minor mainly higher peaks) and a decrease network utilization (fairly
dramatic, again peaks are a lot lower, used to peak at 200Mbs for weekly
differentials, now it doesn't seem to get much over 50Mbs) , which is pretty
much what you would expect - I'd attach the graphs, but they get blocked by the
list, if you want I can send them to you directly
I can try and get you some more specific information if you need it
Mat

Can you expound on that a little when you have some time Mathew?
Other than high-level marketing rainbows about client-direct, there hasn't been
a lot of information that I can find about it. Information from a real-world
site that used NetWorker 7.x with DD and is now using NetWorker 8.x with DD
would be really valuable.
