tibx advantage over Acronis 12 always incremental tib

Thread needs solution

Hi,

 

could someone explain what are benefits of new tibx backup format in comparison to Acronis 12 tib when Always incremental backup is used?

As we currently use Acronis 12 and always incremental I would like to know if it worths creating new backup plan and have additional disk utilisation for old backups.

I can't answer your question specifically, but generally speaking I can say that AB12.5 seems to image fa disk much faster than earlier versions and it seems to be more astute in working out changed files, so incrementals are smaller than previously.

Hello Simon,

TibX is our modern archive format that already allows for a lot of new functionality while setting us up for the future, especially when it comes to hybrid premise/cloud environments and moving the data back and forth.

In short, the format is more:

  • Reliable (less prone to corruption, unreliable networks etc.). It is also transactional, and should survive things like power failure
  • Scalable (it allows us to handle 1 billion files and 50 TB archive sizes)
  • Faster ( due to things like asynchronous data access, paging etc.)

That said, it is a new format so it will have some limitations in terms of legacy feature support. For example, backup splitting into arbitrary file sizes is not yet supported. And you can't yet replicate it to a dedup vault.

These limitations should be ironed out in future updates.
