Hi All,

I have done an assessment for Networker on Mitrend and received the report back.

I need clarification on the "Backup Scorecard Details" section.

Details below:

Storage Efficiency    Warning    No disk/file targets were found. Best practice is to shift away from removable tape media to deduplicated disk

Data Retention        Fair    58% of data is retained for 30-60 days. Best practice is 30-60 days for 90% of backups.

Server Scalability    Warning    This environment sustained a rate of 65.80 for 99.95% of non-idle time.

Client Performance    Warning    13% of clients experienced backups exceeding 8 hours. Best practice is to keep this below 5%.

Daily Window        Warning    45% of weekday backups complete within a 12 hour window. Best practice is 85%+.

I am looking for guidance on what this actually refers to and what the sliding scale looks like.

For example:

1. Will Storage Efficiency change to good if disk is a backup target?

2. Will Data Retention change to Good if all data is retained between 30 - 90 days?

3. What should the throughput be for the Server Scalability metric?

4. Is Client Performance purely related to the 8 hour time frame?

5. The same for Daily Window?

Much appreciated.
