Collections time estimate

[PML_Jay]

I was just recently introduced to the world of collection by a very helpful support rep the other day.

Two questions,

1.  any idea how much time it might take to initially do the collection roughly 30-40gb and a million + files?

2.  is there any danger in enabling colleciton on my recently created (active) paritions?  I'm thinking I should enabled it right away.

Thank you!

Jay

Collections are good to use, they improve backup window times. How long? Would not be able to say as it depends on what is happening when you are running your collections within your system.

On NTFS, once you set them you cannot un-set them - something to be aware of.

Sorry it's nothing great but it's really one of those "it will be done when it's done" scenarios.
