Managing Performance
Published : September 27, 2005
DPM’s architecture, designed to optimize disk-based backup, provides a foundation for strong performance. However, actions that you take in configuring and monitoring DPM can also impact DPM’s performance. This chapter explains how to set your performance expectations and optimize DPM’s performance. Network speed, the performance characteristics of the file server, the size of your protected data, and the rate at which the protected data changes will determine your actual results.
For more information on performance considerations when setting up DPM in your organization, see Planning a Deployment (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=46355) in the DPM 2006 Planning and Deployment Guide.
For instructions on troubleshooting specific performance issues, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in this guide.
