 🔍 Factors & Their Impact on Backup Performance:


Least Used Tables (via last accessed)

➤ Helps identify cold data that can be excluded from frequent backups or moved to separate subclients for infrequent backup schedules.

➤ Reduces backup size and time.


Tables with LOBs (Large Objects)

➤ LOBs, especially non-secure and uncompressed, significantly increase backup time.

➤ Enables prioritization of SecureFiles or compression strategies for LOBs to improve performance.


Tables with Partitions Recently Modified

➤ Allows targeted incremental or subclient backups focusing only on recently changed partitions.

➤ Reduces unnecessary scanning and data movement.


Fragmentation Details

➤ Identifies bloated tables or indexes causing excessive I/O during backups.

➤ Supports reorg planning to optimize space usage and backup efficiency.


Partitions with Compression Enabled/Not

➤ Compressed partitions result in less data to read and transfer, enhancing backup speed.

➤ Highlights areas where enabling compression can yield performance gains.

✅ Use Case: Backup Strategy Tuning


Use the above insights to:


Define custom backup policies (e.g., frequent for hot data, rare for cold).


Improve subclient segmentation.


Apply compression, LOB optimization, or reorganization where it matters most.
