Hi Greg,

Are you planning to perform this operation using SourceOne Kazeon or SourceOne for Files ?

Can you please provide more details on the documentation that is being referred (title, version etc.)? Depending upon the information, we will try to find information for you.

Thanks,

Rajan

Rajan,

I will be using SourceOne for Files. The document I'm referencing is SourceOne for File Systems 6.8 Administration (P/N 300-014-258 REV01). The page number is 29 (Configuring file archiving devices for in-place indexing).

Several statements are made throughout the document that leads me to believe that I either have to have a large archive area to pull my data into an index or more backup capacity. In either scenario, I have to buy storage to store the content a second time. I get that the indexes will take up space, but why does Sourceone require me to copy the content into another store for indexing or require full backup mode on my DiskXtender server?

Thanks,

Greg

We own both and may do what you are thinking about.  EMC services set them both up here.

SourceOne for files is a separate product and while it can provide a similar function by shortcutting/retention, it was not developed from DiskXtender.  DiskXtender's repository resembles the source, where SourceOne's repository appears as .emx files in its own folder structure.

SourceOne for Files can Index a File Repository that is stubbed with DiskXtender.
