Hello,
We're looking for suggestions on how to efficently backup large multi-TB remote clients over a network with limited bandwidth.
• Are there any non-hardware NBU client backup methods to either de-dup, compress, backup only changed blocks, use a possible Puredisk option, or otherwise limit data transfer ?
• Are there any low cost hardware options that could be installed on the remote side to stage backup for dedup ?
• Not sure if this would gain anything, but would it help to setup a remote Master and/or media server and send the data to the local storage using an SLP ?
Anyway, as always, thanks for all your help !
The local environment:
NBU 7.6.0.2 on Red Hat 4.1.2-54 Master/Media servers writing to Data Domain disks (DDos 5.4.1.1)
The remote clients:
NBU 7.6.0.2 on Windows and Linux
