storage usage when migrating a client to a different policy with the same storage unit
Hi
we had a client that was backed up within a policy "ABC" which was using a storage unit DSK_10
one day we migrated it to a policy "BCD" which uses the same storage unit DSK_10.
And the first full backup took 8 hours while previous lasted 15 minutes (thanks to the deduplication).
Now I wonder why it took so long to make the new full backup in policy "ABC" ?
Did NetBackup write all the client data to a new place ignoring the fact that most of the blocks resided already on this storage unit ?
Hello,
it was previously running 15 mins thanks to acceleration, not deduplication. After moving to a new policy, accelerator start point must be established again, thus the first full backup was running in a traditional (long lasting) way. Now it should take 15 mins again.
Regards
Michal
