Enterprise Vault Backup Options
We backup our EV by using Backup Exec on a seperate server which then de-duplicates it to a local drive. The backups can take days. I am aware that collections can sometimes help since there are hundreds of little files to deal with. But I've heard that collections can potentially have other issues.
I'd like to find out what is commonly used out there to backup EV in order to cut down the backup time. Are there other and better technologies that you have found successful?
You know you can close large Vault Store partitions and open new ones. Then you don't have to backup the large close partitions every night but rather every other week or so. The same is true with Index locations in EV 10.
That is one way to help manage backup times.
