Re: Large volume file move

Will it be better to store a lot of files as blob in a table?.  They
will count as one object, and I think back up will be faster.  But I
have no experience, I am just asking.

OK, I think I got it.

He would definitely need to do lots of scenario testing before replacing his current method of using Windows for IFS document storage.

Especially due to the object permissions and backup/recovery potential issues.

I still vote for leaving the IFS objects on the Windows server being backed up with backup exec, however it's not my shop.

FWIW: One way to speed up overall small file backup on a Windows server as well is to create a Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) similar to the iASP.

It would be one object, however as I pointed out the advantage of backing
that up as one object is all but eliminated with Asynchronous Bring.

The other disadvantage would be in order to back up the UDFS, you would have
to bring down the iASP for the duration of the save. Not terribly useful.


I addressed speed of backup in an earlier post where you get a primary
backup, then only add incremental backups of new objects appended to the
same tape.

On a monthly or quarterly basis resave the entire iASP and start over to
maintain audit controls .
