How does HyperBac for Oracle improve transaction throughput during backup operations?
HyperBac for Oracle results in an improvement in transaction throughput by up to 10 times during the backup process in contrast to comparable conventional backup operations. This is due to the substantial reduction in write disk I/O during the HyperBac backup process. Other methods used to produce compressed backup sets in Oracle 10g typically use more aggressive compression routines, while reducing disk write I/O, these routines generally result in excessive CPU utilization introducing a different system bottleneck. As a result, these methods may adversely impact transaction throughput and system usability and responsiveness.
