Data backup

The following aspects are relevant to performance when local data backup takes place:

• Hardware performance

  • Throughput of storage systems

  • Throughput of tape storage systems

  The performance of the hardware determines the throughput for data backup provided that the settings for the software used ensure optimal performance.

• Software-based backup concepts

  • Logical data backup with HSMS/ARCHIVE

  • Physical data backup with FDDRL

Recommendations for performance optimization are provided for the software.
