NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Best practices

Following are the best practices for using S3 interface for MSDP:

  • Use prefix in object keys.

  • Avoid using dots (.) in bucket names.

  • Recommend 50~100 concurrent requests based on BYO computer performance.

  • Recommend less than 1000 CommonPrefixes elements under a specified prefix that are separated by the slash (/) delimiter character.

  • When you use AWS CLI, add --cli-read-timeout 0 and --cli-connect-timeout 0 and add payload_signing_enabled = true in .aws/config file.

  • The time-out settings in S3 client can affect the request procedure. When the server does not respond before the time-out, the client cancels the request automatically.
