Teradata Database backup and restore throughput is affected by several factors. One of the most important factors is the storage device you choose to connect to the Teradata Database node. You are responsible for providing, configuring, and maintaining the disk storage. The following criteria are important for choosing the best storage device:

  • Total size of the storage space
  • Type, quantity, and size of the disk drives in the array
  • Storage device performance rating
  • Type of network connection (1Gbit or 10Gbit)
  • Number of network connections to the device
  • Concurrency and parallelism aspects of the device
  • Disk partitioning
  • Other device specifications that contribute to the read and write performance of the storage device
