We are currently switching to deduplicated storage as part of our migration to plans and therefore looked into recommended settings for everything to work smoothly and the most space efficient.
I already noticed our Commcell had the horizontal scaling option disabled as we upgraded from older versions which resulted in the old default behaviour.
Upon enabling I can now see two DDBs for the two data types we currently backup to this pool: Files and Databases.
From previous experimenting we noticed improved deduplication savings when using no compression for file backups.
For databases it seems the other way around as also suggested in the documentation.
This got me wondering:
- Is compression with deduplication also recommended for File or VSA backups?
- If we disable compression on the DDB (e.g. Files), will the setting persist when the DDB is sealed? (because we use WORM/S3 OL)
