SystemState backup
Hi all,
Is there any way to compact my systemstate in windows 2008 before backup it in BE2012?
If somebody knows some tips to optimizing and compact my BE 2012, it will wellcome.
My job´s run at night and I have nobody to put second tape in unit, so I need to put everything in one tape.
My data have 24 GB, I´m using DAT DDS4 20/40 GB but it could not compact sufficient.
I think my problem is in "systemState" is bigger.
Thanks.
"PowerVault 100T DAT72" is the only 100T series supported with BE 2012 (I am not sure if your tape unit in of this series). Either ways, it looks like the data that you are backing up is larger than the tape capacity you have. You could try the software compression, as using the Hardware compression doesn't seem to be compressing the data enough to fit the Tape.
Having said this, unfortunately, BE doesnot control or set the amount of compression that you can get. So, even after using software compression if the data does not fit on that tape you would have to look for an alternative for backup targets (Tape/Disk devices)
