Hello,
I've setup one datastore for my PBS and testing is so far going well. After seeding my subsequent backups are running very fast and storage used is reduced a lot.
I have various types of VM's in my office:
Database servers that change often due to data being input
Destkops that are used daily with some change to files and folders.
File Servers that have many changes made daily to them.
Workstations that are only used to input data into our database and have almost no changes made directly to the OS
So some of my VM's change daily and some do not. I'm considering creating different datastores with different prune options. My database servers and file servers change a lot so I'd like to be able to keep versions of these throughout the day perhaps. Will running PBS during the day when data is being input into a database slow down the database during the backup?
Any advice others can provide on how they setup their datastore for various types of VM's would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
