Data in Vault System

[katiekafs9]

You can mirror network stations so that anything on one is on the other too. This basically happens with real time backup. Since my IT guys work on it, no idea how it works.

A faster hardware could help. I would also recommend to use the –DBSC switch in the ADMSConsole line to exclude the standard content libraries from the backup process.

Or you can use standard system (non-Autodesk) backup methods employing incremental/differential methods -- just make sure you stop your ADMS for such backup process.

Incremental & Differential backups take less time, each day, compared to a total backup, but restoring the files requires A LOT of time.

If you were to mirror, as previously mentioned, or clone or image your HDDs, you would have everything backed up, & you could recover in 1 swell foop.

Have you tried Riverbed's Steelhead appliance product (www.riverbed.com)? They accelerate VAULT services over slow WANs and make sharing CAD data as fast as it would be on a LAN.

Actually we need to implement an incremental or a differential backup procedure. And that too in multiple locations.

It sounds like something might not be configured quite right. Since one of my partners had recently copied ~200GB to a fresh (empty) usb drive and it didn't take anywhere near as long. I was surprised to hear that. Now, I am trying to re-configure.

We have three offices that are sharing project files and our only solution was Riverbed Steelhead. It's true that they are expensive but the amount of time and headache that is saved is worth every time.

clever spam.
