Windows 2008r2 master and media servers running 7.5.0.4
Hello all,
I read some other discussion around dealing with large catalogs, but it was an older article, and the final recomendation was expanding the volume that contains it. My issue isnt so much that, but my catalog has reached 1.2TB in size, and the last full backup took over 30hours to complete. That backup didnt run particularly fast.....11MB/s or so, but thats actually fairly quick for us. Generally, its been taking closer to 40 hours. I run a couple of incremental backups against it per day as well.
Aside from compression, archiving, etc, are there other options you all use for backing up larger catalogs? I'd certainly prefer not to set up a second Master to break up the catalog (if thats even possible), but I'll need to do something soon. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thank you,
Todd
