How quickly can Database Vault generate database backups?
The speed at which Database Vault can generate and complete database backups will depend on many factors including…
- The performance of the system that is generating the backups (CPU, RAM, Drives)
- The size of the database(s) being backed up
- The storage method selected and the performance of the device / network
However, for an example using our SQL Server 2014 test system
- 2500 databases
- Sizes from ~100MB to 10GB
- Backup to an external USB disk
- No ZIP Compression
- Using SQL Server backup compression
- Using 3 backup worker threads
We saw completion times ranging from 25 – 35 minutes to do a full server backup of the 2500 databases.
