NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

About measuring performance independent of tape or disk output

You can measure the disk (read) component of NetBackup's speed independent of the network components and tape components.

The following techniques are available:

  • bpbkar

    This technique is easier.

  • SKIP_DISK_WRITES touch file

    This technique may be helpful in more limited circumstances.

  • NULL storage units

    See the following tech note for more information:

    How to configure a "null" Storage Unit for NetBackup 8.x and 9.x Media servers

Note:

In these procedures, the primary server is the client.
