Data fragmented on disk will also be backed up fragmented using Flashbackup.
The restore of single files will be slower in this case, because the data
cannot be restored without various tape positioning.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU Flashbackup vs Normal Backup


Hi,

Recently i was told by symantec that using Flashbackup to backup the raw
device will greatly increased the backup and restore time.

After reading through the admin guide abt the advanced client, i also
understand that flashbackup also able to do file level restore instead on
restoring the entire volume which i initially tot is going to be the trade
off.

This spark a question, so a flashbackup is almost the same as a normal file
level based backup which also able to retore individual files, wat are the
cons of using flashbackup beside higher cost to buy the advanced client
licenses? Anyone here knows the pros and cons? 

Regards
