Modifying Workloads
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
DPM offers several methods that you can use to modify protection workloads to improve performance. The following table lists the methods you can use and indicates what you can expect from each method.
Methods for Modifying Protection Workloads
Method | Impact |
---|---|
Network bandwidth usage throttling |
Causes jobs to use less bandwidth, but they take longer to complete. |
On-the-wire compression |
Reduces size of data transfer but increases CPU utilization on the DPM server and the protected computers. |
Staggering synchronization start times |
Balances the loads of synchronization jobs across protection groups. |
Scheduling consistency checks during off-peak hours |
Prevents DPM from interfering with regular business use of protected computers. |
Creating replicas manually |
Might make replica creation faster. There is no performance load on the protected computer or network resources. However, the first consistency check will impact performance of the protected computer. |
