I have servers with 10’s of Millions of general user files (.DOC, .XLS) files that are ‘manageable’ using the Standard File Agent method of backup
I’ve often considered the Block Level method, but its the idea of ‘another Filter’ Driver in the Windows stack that concerns me:
- Not due to the quality of the code coming out of CommVault (which is very high)
- But due to the nature of Anti-Virus drivers, and their updates that often disrupt other filter drivers - with the small potential for a blue screen
I’d be interested in any thoughts, comments, experience
(The Windows Servers hosting the File Servers are 2016 and 2019 NTFS)
Many Thanks
