Hi!
What are the restore times compared to backup times?
ServerA and ServerB are connected to the same gigabit switch.
We have a Powervault 124t autoloader (LT02) directly connected to the medial Server (ServerA) via an adaptec card. Out of hours Veritas on the media server backsup 750Gb of ransom data from serverB in around 15 hours. To restore the same amount of data back onto ServerB again out of hours what approximate times would we be looking at?
Throughput rate: 836 MB/min / Hardware Compression ON
Many Thanks
Paul

Hey thanks for those great comments. Yeah I think a test restore is the way to go if in doubt. The data is made up of all sorts of stuff such as Adobe PD'f's, Office files, Images etc etc. Some no more than a few kb's and others could be over 100Mb. A 10Gb restore I did from ServerA to B during peak business hours took around 30mins (and I think a backup on B was running at the same time too) so you just can’t use that as a basis..
Will post back should I run with it!
Cheers
