Boring I know, but I'd be interested to learn what
kind of backup performance people
are getting for Windows/CIFS shares. I'm
particularly thinking of home and shared
directories with millions of small files - the
usual junk that accumulates on these
types of shares with hundreds of
users.
I've seen amazing performance from dumps of Oracle
datafiles, in the order of
90MB/s to three fibre-attached LTO-1s from an F840,
but I know many small files
will reduce thruput significantly. The question is
how much and what would
you do differently ?
I'd be grateful for any numbers people could share.
We'll probably use NDMP but
I guess simple dumps would give a similar
performance.
Thks in advance.
