Hi everyone
Thought this would be an interesting Q & A as I haven't found any details about this subject, literally, anywhere.
We've recently started archiving our file server with CommVault, which leaves a 4KB stub file in the place of whatever file it just archived. For example, a 19kb file is archived, leaving an identical file of 4kb, the only differences being the size on disk and the file icon (has a little black X on it)
When Netbackup backups up, let's say, one specific section of our file server (approx 640gb), here's what happened before and after archiving:
Before archiving: approx 640gb in 3h48min
After archiving: approx 640gb in 3h49min
Thing is, of those 640gb, over half of it is archived, leaving only 4kb stubs. How is the size AND time it takes to backup almost identical? We tried recovering files from said backup and it really is the 4KB stub...
Anybody else use both systems together and has an idea what's going on?
Thanks!
