Painpoints with Traditional Backup We are Paid to Backup not Restore

So, how fast is inSync really ?

By Jaspreet on April 18th, 2008 under Data Protection, Druvaa inSync, Products

We still couldn’t figure out what makes the traditional backups so slow and resource hungry.

But, we benchmarked insync against normal network copy using a HP dual core machine configured for 50 users. Here are the results -

You can download the PDF (117KB) and other related documents from http://www.druvaa.com/download/insync.html

Should the results differ for a larger set of users ? Looks difficult, but would soon try and publish (upcoming) version 2.0 benchmarks with larger set of users.

    [...] Druvaa, who is competing with Veritas (a.k.a. Symantec) in the backup space by providing a cheaper alternative in the form of CDP (continuous data protection) software, is blogging about the pain points with traditional backup (and obviously their software is supposed to not suffer from any of these). They also have a slide show indicating how fast their software is. [...]
