How to implement snapshots
recovering files that they're not authorized to access.
Integrate snapshots into the broader data protection scheme Evaluate the importance of your snapshots and determine the level of data protection that is appropriate for your snapshot data. RAID 5 or even RAID 6 protection is usually adequate in the snapshot storage system itself, while some organizations take it... More...
How to implement disk-to-disk backups
as backup targets. Storage space is finite, which can limit the allowable retention period for data. Data reduction technologies like data deduplication and delta differencing can dramatically extend the effective storage capacity. Also, indexing and search are can be valuable when rapid file organization and location are needed. Below are a series of best...

How to improve tape backup performance and reliability
Use data backup tools to locate bottlenecks Experts point to a growing number of backup and data protection management tools that can analyze backup traffic and highlight potential problem areas. For example, you might identify tape as your data bottleneck and spend significant capital dollars for upgrades and other changes -- only to discover that the problem was... More... FAQ's
Server-free backup FAQ
the only way to do large server backups. However, the advent of continuous data protection (CDP) and near-CDP has created real alternatives to server-free backup. And, I think the large ISVs are agreeing with that. Many, if not most, of them have either acquired CDP technology or they are writing it themselves.
With a large... More...
What's the best methodology to use when testing for storage security vulnerabilities?
administrators, developers and even upper management. A screenshot of a remote command prompt on a server or some other host in your storage environment can be a powerful vehicle for change.
Be sure to wrap your testing into a higher level ethical hacking methodology that includes planning things out so... More...
Is there a similar performance impact, or any impact at all, when restoring deduplicated data?
It really depends on how the index is constructed and how the data is laid out on the back-end disk. As long as the index can remain in memory, it can continue to process and find data as it's reconstructed.
The problem that begins to emerge is two-fold. First off, if you have backups going on at the same... More... |
