About MSDP performance

Many factors affect performance, especially the server hardware and the network capacity.

Table: MSDP job load performance for an MSDP storage server provides information about performance during backup jobs for a deduplication storage server. The deduplication storage server conforms to the minimum host requirements. Client deduplication or load balancing servers are not used.

Normal operation	Normal operation is when all clients have been backed up once. Approximately 15 to 20 jobs can run concurrently and with high performance under the following conditions: The hardware meets minimum requirements. (More capable hardware improves performance.) No compression. If data is compressed, the CPU usage increases quickly, which reduces the number of concurrent jobs that can be handled. The deduplication rate is between 50% and 100%. The deduplication rate is the percentage of data already stored so it is not stored again. The amount of data that is stored is between 30% to 90% of the capacity of the storage.

(More capable hardware improves performance.) The amount of data that is stored is between 85% to 90% of the capacity of the storage. However, the average time to complete the jobs increases significantly.

Normal operation

Normal operation is when all clients have been backed up once.

Approximately 15 to 20 jobs can run concurrently and with high performance under the following conditions:

No compression. If data is compressed, the CPU usage increases quickly, which reduces the number of concurrent jobs that can be handled.
The deduplication rate is between 50% and 100%. The deduplication rate is the percentage of data already stored so it is not stored again.

NetBackup maintains the same number of concurrent backup jobs as during normal operation under the following conditions:

The hardware meets minimum requirements. (More capable hardware improves performance.)
The amount of data that is stored is between 85% to 90% of the capacity of the storage.

However, the average time to complete the jobs increases significantly.
