Subject: Re: Hardware-assisted compression: not CPU-efficient?
Conversely, sometimes it is hard to get the backups all done in a low
activity window, so one might compromise in favor of faster backups even at
the expense of more CPU consumption.
Depending on shop's strategy, getting a logically consistent PIT copy just
might put the backups in the business critical path. That is, all have to
complete before the next business day starts.
-----------------------------------------------
Doesn't have to be if you combine the backups with hardware vendor
replication technologies such as SHADOWIMAGE, TIMEFINDER and FLASHCOPY.
Read how Innovation's FDRINSTANT solution gets around the issue of taking
backups off the critical path:
