Avamar Cuts Backup Bandwidth
Martin J. Garvey
writes in Information Week
about how a software package called Axion 2.0 is cutting
backup and recovery times for business.
Customer Qualcomm claims to have cut their backup window down to 15 minutes, from 2 hours.
If you read the Avamar website,
you'll see that they are also interested in reducing storage requirements,
not just backup/restore times.
Their
"commonality factoring" appears aimed at reducing
the amount of redundant storage of data in backups.
That's the sort of thing that will continue to make disk-to-disk backups more affordable.
