Encryption and Compression
I would like to do both encryption and compression on my backups and was wondering if it were possible and what the diSadvantages are?
I know that Networker offers both and have tried putting them both in a directive with the end result being that the backup got encrypted but compression was next to nothing. So I guess the question is how do I get it to compress first and then encrypt?
If I were able to do both how much longer would it take for a backup of about 200GB on a LTO4 tape drive?
I am running Networker 8.0.1.1 Build 132 on AIX 7.1 with a LTO4 tape library
I am also looking at doing this on the hardware level but if I could do it at the Networker level without too added time to the backups I would rather do that.
Thanks

The system can, it is jfs2
Not sure about "acting as a pool", if that is something different

My /etc/security/limits file shows this:
default:
fsize = -1
core = -1
cpu = -1
data = -1
rss = -1
stack = 8388608
nofiles = -1
root:
fsize = -1
stack = -1

The server is the storage node

Sorry, but I've never experimented storage nodes...
Can you retry tests on the Networker Server himself ? Just to avoid a NFS limitation (if present)...

I just realized that I created a jfs2 but did not use a logical volume to do it, maybe that is the difference

This seems to be working
No error about big files ?
Properties for the cloud section are typically for the network crossed by saves...

This seems to be working
I also noticed something in the cloud tab on the properties about file size so that might explain it if Networker saw the file systems as a cloud

No errors at all, so now I am deleting the nfs directories and just adding jfs2 filesystems

Maybe your jfs was mounted under /, thus limiting the amount of available space...
