About modifying transfer settings
In Rapid Recovery, you can modify the settings to manage the data transfer processes for a protected machine.
The transfer settings described in this section are set at the protected machine level. To affect transfer at the Core
level, see
Modifying transfer queue settings
.
Rapid Recovery supports Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 for normal transfers, both base and incremental,
as well as with restore, bare metal restore, and virtual machine export.
There are three types of transfers in Rapid Recovery:
•
Snapshot. Backs up the data on your protected machine. Two types of snapshots are possible: a base image of all
protected data, and an incremental snapshot for data updated since the last snapshot. This type of transfer creates
.
•
Virtual Machine Export. Creates a virtual machine (VM) from a recovery point, containing all of the data from the backup
of the protected machine, as well the operating system and drivers and associated data to ensure the VM is bootable.
.
•
Restore. Restores backup information to a protected machine. For more information, see
About restoring volumes from a
.
NOTE:
The entire volume is always rewritten during restore of Windows systems using EFI system
partitions.
Data transfer in Rapid Recovery involves the transmission of a volume of data along a network from protected
machines to the Core. In the case of replication, transfer also occurs from the originating or source Core to the
target Core.
Data transfer can be optimized for your system through certain performance option settings. These settings
control data bandwidth usage during the process of backing up protected machines, performing VM export, or
performing a restore. These are some factors that affect data transfer performance:
•
Number of concurrent agent data transfers
•
Number of concurrent data streams
•
Amount of data change on disk
•
Available network bandwidth
•
Repository disk subsystem performance
•
Amount of memory available for data buffering
