Dell PowerVault DL2100 - Manual (Page 3)

Test Setup
The test setup details are summarized in the table below:
1 The average incremental data size was approximately 2% for File servers and approximately 10% for
Exchange servers
2 The size of the total backup set was sufficient to eliminate in-memory caching effects and maintain sustained
performance through a 10 minute measurement interval
3 Refer to CommVault Books Online for instructions on how to setup Datapipe Interface Pairs
4 The mount paths for the deduplication database (referred to as the deduplication store in Simpana Interface)
and backup data were shared. Each deduplication database was placed in a mount path corresponding to a
different disk group.
