Catalog Size is growing very fast
Dear Friends,
I have a query about catalog size growth, in my environment Daily full backup for database and daily incremental backup for file system, databases are Oracle and exchange with one week retentions some databases daily retentions are two weeks and 45 days also.
Weekly full backup retention for all is one month. And monthly backup retention on disk two months and on tape infinite. We have BMR backup also for windows and Linux clients backup contain All_local_drives.
My catalog size is 800 gb after enabling the compression, my netbackup environment is only 20 months old. Please suggest me what is the maximum catalog size that netbackup can handle with good performance. Total daily backup in environment is 22 TB, weekly and monthly backup size is 63 TB
NBU version: - 7.6.0.4
OS: - windows 2008 R2
VERITAS Cluster: - Yes
Please Advice
Thank You!!
... and on tape infinite.
This is your problem
Catalogs will simply keep on growing if nothing expires.We have customers with around 1TB in image catalogs. These are Linux servers with sufficient CPU and memory.
These docs will help with capacity and performance planning:
