Configuring ON-Bar for optional Spectrum Protect features
You can configure ON-Bar to enable or disable optional features in Spectrum Protect.
Apply all patches and updates to Spectrum Protect before you use the following Spectrum Protect features.
- Deduplication
- Deduplication eliminates redundant data in backups. To enable the database server to support deduplication, set the IFX_BAR_USE_DEDUP environment variable in the Informix® environment and restart the database server. Update the Spectrum Protect client systems option file.
- Large transfer buffer size
- The default transfer buffer size is 64 KB. Set the BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE configuration parameter to specify a transfer buffer of up to 65 MB.
- Replicate, import, and export backup objects
- Replicating, importing, or exporting backup objects between Spectrum Protect servers requires unique IDs for backup objects. ON-Bar automatically stores IDs in the metadata of backup objects that are unique for all Spectrum Protect server with version 12.10.xC2 or later.
