Why shouldn I just use compressed backup methods in Oracle 10g or SAP BRTools?
Other methods used to produce compressed backup sets in Oracle 10g or SAP BRTools use more aggressive compression routines, while reducing disk write I/O, these routines typically 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. HyperBac’s high performance compression technology reduces disk I/O and provides a high level of data compression and storage reduction without creating a CPU bottleneck. Transaction throughput is markedly increased and disk I/O wait states are reduced. Bottom line, HyperBac for SAP will deliver the equivalent compression to Oracle 10g or SAP BRTools, but in far less time taken as compared to using these methods. Moreover, system usability, responsiveness and transaction throughput will be greatly improved during the SAP backup process.
