Performance SOBR

Post by lowlander »

Hi,

We want to configure a SOBR with dedup appliance for full backups / incremental backups and a traditional fileserver for incrementals. How are the incrementals distributed accross the 2 extents and can we manipulate this ?

thanks.

The default policy is data locality which means once a full is placed on an extent, all incrementals in the chain are placed on the same extent. However, you can select the performance policy which places the incrementals on different extents from the full so that merge performance is faster. If you select performance you can then get even more granular by choosing which extents are allowed to store fulls vs incrementals.

It mainly depends on which dedupe appliance you are talking about. If it's one with integration with Veeam (datadomain or storeonce, as exagrid to my knowledge is yet to confirm support for sobr) then you should select data locality to leverage synthetic full operations.
