    Posted: 17.Jan.2008 at 06:23
We have about 200 GB worth of data in our Vault system– most files are stored as only one version. Our current backup procedure takes more than 4 hours to perform.

Since we are planning to add one more location in our organization, the size of the file store will probably double or triple in next two or three months. With the anticipated growth, the backups will take even longer. Is there a way to implement an incremental or a differential backup procedure?

A faster hardware could help. I would also recommend to use the –DBSC switch in the ADMSConsole line to exclude the standard content libraries from the backup process.
Or you can use standard system (non-Autodesk) backup methods employing incr/diff methods -- just make sure you stop your ADMS for such backup process.

You can mirror network stations so that any thing on one is on the other too. This basically happens with real time backup. Since my IT guys work on it, no idea how it works.

It is unclear whether Productstream ADMS and Vault ADMS 2008 supports incremental/ differential backups or not.

Productream does (the IBR tool), simple Vault does not.

What are you using to perform the backups? What is your total backup window? Is this all going to be in one location or in multiple locations as far as different servers?

Actually we need to implement an incremental or a differential backup procedure. And that too in multiple locations.

It sounds like something might not be configured quite right. Since one of my partners had recently copied ~200GB to a fresh (empty) usb drive and it didn't take anywhere near as long. I was surprised to hear that. Now, I am trying to re-configure.

Incremental & Differential backups take less time, each day, compared to a total backup, but restoring the files requires A LOT of time.

If you were to mirror, as previously mentioned, or clone or image your HDDs, you would have everything backed up, & you could recover in 1 swell foop.

Are you using 10 / 100 hardware & cabling or gigabit hardware & cabling?

                     

Is the data stored on the computer with the fastest CPU, most ram, and fastest hard disk drives? If not, that could be part of your problem.

 

Have you evaluated the network for load balancing?

 

A router that utilizes SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), a firewall based protocol, can reduce network efficiency.

Have you tried Riverbed's Steelhead appliance product (www.riverbed.com)? They accelerate VAULT services over slow WANs and make sharing CAD data as fast as it would be on a LAN.
