Deduplication Cartridge Report, No Match Found

Page 96 highlights

multi-stream backups, this process may take multiple tries (going back to "Waiting for Next Backup" state each time) until the differencing locates the correct stream. Pending Reclamation - the differencing is complete (duplicate data has been identified) and space reclamation is now waiting for full cartridges before it can begin. Partially Reclaimed - in a backup job that spanned multiple cartridges, the full cartridges have been space reclaimed but the last tape in the spanned set (which is partially full) is waiting until that tape is full before it can reclaim space. Dedupe Complete - deduplication, including all space reclamation, is complete for this backup job. No Match Found - indicates backups that cannot be deduplicated because they were unable to match with their previous version due to large-scale modification. In the detailed Backup and Cartridge reports, the Dedupe Ratio Estimate represents the overall compression ratio (including both deduplication and compression) of that backup/cartridge based on the amount of logical backup data stored versus the amount of physical disk space used. If the backup job status is "Waiting for next backup," "Delta-diff in Progress," or "Pending Reclamation," the ratio will only include the compression because deduplication will not have actually space reclaimed that tape and therefore will not have saved any disk space. If the status is "Partially Reclaimed" or "Dedupe Complete," the backup disk space has been partially or full reduced by deduplication and the ratio represents compression plus deduplication. The Dedupe Estimate in GB follows the same logic. The "Saved" value represents the amount of disk space reclaimed by deduplication (Logical minus Physical values). Deduplication Cartridge Report The cartridge report provides information on the deduplication of your backup jobs at the cartridge level. 1. Select Cartridge Report from the navigation tree or from the task bar of the Deduplication Summary screen. The cartridge report options display. 2. Select View corresponding to the report you want to view. You can view all cartridges, or view a specific barcode prefix or virtual library. The screen displays the list of cartridges meeting the set criteria. 3. From the results list, select a cartridge to see all of the backup jobs on that cartridge. The report includes the following information: • Library • Barcode • Logical Size - the size of the backup data sent to the VLS (before deduplication and com- pression) • Physical Size - the disk space currently used to store the compressed backup, which varies over time as deduplication processes the backup and reclaims redundant disk space • Dedupe Ratio Estimate - the estimated deduplication ratio (based on the Logical Size divided by Physical Size) 96 Deduplication

multi-stream backups, this process may take multiple tries (going back to "Waiting for Next Backup"
state each time) until the differencing locates the correct stream.
Pending Reclamation
the differencing is complete (duplicate data has been identified) and
space reclamation is now waiting for full cartridges before it can begin.
Partially Reclaimed
in a backup job that spanned multiple cartridges, the full cartridges have
been space reclaimed but the last tape in the spanned set (which is partially full) is waiting until that
tape is full before it can reclaim space.
Dedupe Complete
deduplication, including all space reclamation, is complete for this backup
job.
No Match Found
indicates backups that cannot be deduplicated because they were unable
to match with their previous version due to large-scale modification.
In the detailed Backup and Cartridge reports, the Dedupe Ratio Estimate represents the overall
compression ratio (including both deduplication and compression) of that backup/cartridge based
on the amount of logical backup data stored versus the amount of physical disk space used. If the
backup job status is
Waiting for next backup,
”“
Delta-diff in Progress,
or
Pending Reclamation,
the ratio will
only
include the compression because deduplication will not have actually space reclaimed
that tape and therefore will not have saved any disk space. If the status is
Partially Reclaimed
or
Dedupe Complete,
the backup disk space has been partially or full reduced by deduplication and
the ratio represents compression plus deduplication. The Dedupe Estimate in GB follows the same
logic. The
Saved
value represents the amount of disk space reclaimed by deduplication (Logical
minus Physical values).
Deduplication Cartridge Report
The cartridge report provides information on the deduplication of your backup jobs at the cartridge
level.
1.
Select
Cartridge Report
from the navigation tree or from the task bar of the
Deduplication Summary
screen.
The cartridge report options display.
2.
Select
View
corresponding to the report you want to view. You can view all cartridges, or view
a specific barcode prefix or virtual library.
The screen displays the list of cartridges meeting the set criteria.
3.
From the results list, select a cartridge to see all of the backup jobs on that cartridge.
The report includes the following information:
Library
Barcode
Logical Size
the size of the backup data sent to the VLS (before deduplication and com-
pression)
Physical Size
the disk space currently used to store the compressed backup, which varies
over time as deduplication processes the backup and reclaims redundant disk space
Dedupe Ratio Estimate
the estimated deduplication ratio (based on the Logical Size divided
by Physical Size)
