42 Mounting Backups for Recovery– Forget About It

43 Let’s Talk Chunks

44

45 How many chunks are in a 10 GB file? Default is 64K for editable content Default is 1 M for non-editable content

46 How many chunks are in a 10 GB file? Default is 64K for editable content Default is 1 M for non-editable content 156,250 chunks for an editable document 10,000 chunks for a non-editable file

47 That’s a lot of chunks to reassemble

48 Changing Chunk Size Can change chunk size up to maximum (effectively disables shredding) Larger chunks increase performance, but add load on the WFE and SQL server as more data is loaded into the memory If chunk size too high, files use too much memory (WFE + SQL) If chunk size too low, too many requests sent to the SQL Server database and performance affected
