Modifying Workloads
DPM offers several methods that you can use to modify protection workloads to improve
performance. The following table lists the methods you can use and indicates what you can
expect from each method.
Methods for Modifying Protection Workloads
Method Impact
Network bandwidth usage throttling Causes jobs to use less bandwidth, but they
take longer to complete.
On-the-wire compression Reduces size of data transfer but increases
CPU utilization on the DPM server and the
protected computers.
Staggering synchronization start times Balances the loads of synchronization jobs
across protection groups.
Scheduling consistency checks during off-peak
hours
Prevents DPM from interfering with regular
business use of protected computers.
Creating replicas manually Might make replica creation faster. There is no
performance load on the protected computer or
network resources. However, the first
consistency check will impact performance of
the protected computer.
