Guidelines for Backup Jobs
Follow these guidelines when working with backup jobs.
- Replay Manager queues a maximum of one scheduled job per backup set at a time.
- If a scheduled backup job is running, it does not count towards this limit.
- Manually triggered backup jobs do not count towards this limit.
- Manually triggered jobs take priority over scheduled jobs.
NOTE:Tasks do not
have a limit. However, jobs (taking a Replay) have a limit.
In addition, follow these guidelines when creating schedules for backup jobs:
- Although a backup snapshot completes in seconds, the entire backup snapshot process—from temporarily freezing all application IO, taking the snapshot, and then releasing all application IO—can take significant time to process depending on the applications in use. It also takes time to apply a retention policy. For this reason, make sure that a scheduled backup can finish before another backup is scheduled to start.
- For large volumes and components, Dell recommends scheduling backups during off hours.
- At present, Replay Manager does not support backups for Storage Center Live Volumes.
