|
- 8.1.6
|
- Backup enhancement: backup size
- The accuracy of the estimated backup size that is sent to the IBM Spectrum Protect server has
been improved. Instead of a fixed value that depended on the allocated memory size, the exact value
of the backup is used.
|
- 8.1.4
|
- Take advantage of potential performance improvements enabled by parallel processing
- IBM Spectrum
Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning Version 8.1.4 can process multiple redo log copies in dedicated
threads when used with SAP HANA, IBM DB2®, or Oracle RMAN
database technology. If the system offers sufficient CPU power and bandwidth, these redo logs are
sent to IBM Spectrum
Protect servers in parallel, which can
improve system performance.
- Optimize the format of backup images for data deduplication
- You can optimize the format of backup images for data deduplication with Db2 by running the
Backup Object Manager command, backom, with the command option
-o. The new format is compressed and thus requires less storage space. For more
information, see Optimize for data deduplication in Db2.
- Enable expiration of obsolete backup versions
- IBM Spectrum
Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning: Data Protection for SAP HANA
can now automatically delete obsolete backup generations. This feature was previously available for
Data Protection for SAP Oracle and Data Protection for SAP Db2 only. For more information, see Retain backups by version.
