j-polasektamu.edu Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Howdy, We are starting to backup large amount of data (folders containing < 2TB) to disk backup sets. I have not been able to find information on the best way to setup the disk backup set members for this amount of data. Is it better to create multiple smaller (1TB) members or one huge (3TB to 4TB) member? Does the member size affect restore or grooming times? We plan to do one full backup and then do incremental backups and use grooming of the Disk Sets to keep the size manageable. Has anyone else done this?

Lennart_T Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Grooming times are affected more by the number of files rather than the amount of data. So if you have millions of files, I would go for the smaller sets. Otherwise the larger set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
