Use client options to improve the throughput of client
data to the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager.
Reduce client data flow with compression
The backup-archive client can compress data before it sends
the data to the server. Enabling compression on the client reduces
the amount of data that is sent over the network and the space that
is needed to store it on the server and storage pools. Two client
options determine when and if the client compresses data: compression and compressalways.
Tuning client-side data deduplication
The performance of client-side data deduplication can be
affected by processor requirements and deduplication configuration.
Adjusting the I/O buffer size of the client
The diskbuffsize client option specifies
the maximum disk input/output (I/O) buffer size (in KB) that the client
uses when it is reading files.
Setting options to minimize processor usage
You can set several client options to reduce the time that
is required for client processing tasks and improve performance. The
client options to consider are quiet, virtualnodename, ifnewer, incrbydate,
and tapeprompt.
