Re: IFS limits

Depends:

If you can use the prefetch option, yes it's faster on save than it used to be.

Restores are highly dependent on the directory structure and how you did the save.

Parallel save restore speeds thing up exponentially so if you have multiple devices use them.

Depends a little on how much security is on the directory structure too.

Save/restore operations are still object/data space so it will be slower than a file system in Linux/AIX

That's good. Seemed like an artificial limit.

Has backup speed improved ?

Right now it's about 50M objects per user.
Unless it wasn't the number of objects but that one user cannot own more than 8.5M TB of data.
