Optimizing data organization for restore and retrieval operations

How you organize data affects how efficiently and quickly IBM Spectrum Protect™ can access it and perform retrieval operations.

  • Grouping data by using collocation in server storage pools
    Use collocation to improve IBM Spectrum Protect performance and maintain optimal data organization.
  • Maintaining active-data storage pools
    Setting up active-data storage pools can be useful for fast client restore operations. By keeping only active data in a storage pool, you can reduce the number of onsite or offsite storage volumes that you use, or reduce bandwidth when you copy or restore files that are vaulted electronically in a remote location.
