Hi All,
Sometimes when I read things that make sense it causes me to question if it
really works so I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone is doing it.
I've read that you can put up multiple journal engines on a single server and
I'm wondering if anyone has tested it and I'm also curious if you have decided
if it has any advantages or disadvantages. I was thinking, because NDMP has
been squashed for a specific customer, I need to find out the best of what's
left. Hearing statements like, "we want to move all the data curretly x number
of servers currently access on the NAS to a single server", it makes me
question how we're going to handle this single backup.
I currently can't tell you how many millions of files we're talking about nor
can I say how much data we're talking about, but it seems to me that it would
make sense to create multiple drives to spread it out to be able to use
multiple journal engines to track everything, and I was hoping it might make it
quicker. One other question is if it would be better to schedule seperate
backup windows for those different drives to help spread things out and get it
backed up "at least somewhat timely".
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank You
Geoff Gill
