hubert_mbr Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi, what would be some of the disadvantages of NOT using Snapshots while backing up workstations ? During my tests of Single Server 7.6.123 proactive backups of Windows clients I noticed the following : Pros : if I don't use Snapshots, .RDB files do NOT increase in size, if no new/changed files are detected. If I check Snapshots, .RDB files increase in size by 300MB every backup ( in my case ), EVEN if no new/changed files are detected !!?? Cons: I cannot use Restore option when no snapshosts exist ( But i can still use Find Files or Sessions from Reports ) Any other cons ?

Mayoff Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If you turn off snapshots then you can not use grooming. It also means restores of an entire volume will be almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
