Hi guys
i m new bee to his forum,
we are planning buying a san salution and considering the open-dss,
i have some confusion regarding snapshot feature that how it will be effective for me
below the purpose of the macheine.
we want to use this as file server/storage server
it will be connected to our renderfarm 30 nodes (3d animation applications) and pool of 10 users (compositers) all connected to fiber channel.
bassically all the frames/files will be out to storage (open-e dss) and all the users will use read those files for composit.
at the end of the day we came up like 200-400GB data dailiy, new frames/files, actully
if we want to backup this on daily bassis it will take time.
* mind it i dont want to archive these file at the moment
wanted to know what if i take a snap shot of a volume of 2 TB and daily its increases addition 300gb, then how much time this volume take for snapshot?
and can we backup that snapshot version to vertias or any other windows server?
