We continue the discussion on how data deduplication has revolutionized how PC backup software works. This article is the second in a series that attempts to explain how various factors define the success of a PC backup. We have already explained Target Vs Source-based Deduplication. Inline Vs Post-process Deduplication In target based deduplication, the deduplication engine can either process data for duplicates in real time (i.e. as and when its send to target) or after its been stored in the target storage. The former is called inline deduplication. The obvious advantages are: - Increase in overall efficiency as data is only passed and processed once- The processed data is instantaneously available for post storage processes like recovery and replication reducing the RPO and RTO window. The disadvantages are: - Decrease in write throughput- Extent of deduplication is less - Only fixed-length block deduplication approach can be use- The inline deduplication only processed incoming raw blocks and does not have any knowledge of the files or file-structure. This forces it to use the fixed-length block approach (discussed in details later).- The...more

The ideal PC Backup Software is designed keeping in mind remote or mobile laptop users. The product should be able to deliver high performance and security while backing up over VPN or even unprotected WAN. Powerful WAN optimization helps boost the speed of backup over a weak link for remote users. Such a feature detects the network type and automatically manipulates packet sizes and level of parallelism to achieve optimal backup performance. The administrator should also be able to set fixed (value-based) or variable (percentage-based) restrictions on bandwidth for connecting laptops, so that the rules can be made to vary depending upon the connecting network. But the must-have in PC Backup Software is always Data De-Duplication (DDD). This process saves "only a single copy" of content duplicated across users. This delivers 90% reduction in bandwidth and storage, making the solution highly scalable. For the administrator to have complete control on what gets backed up, centralized backup policy management is also essential. The administrator should be able to view, guide and control granular PC backup policies. He/she should get statistics for the entire installation, and if...more
