With an external SQL database, you can register up to 8000 workloads to the management server, without significant performance degradation. To overcome this limitation, specify an external Microsoft SQL Server instance when you install the management server. This limitation originates from the management server's embedded SQLite database. The maximum number of registered workloads is 900-1000. Thus, a server with 100 registered workloads consumes approximately 400 MB above the operating system and running applications. Each additional workload adds about 2 MB. A workload is any type of protected resource – for example, a physical machine, a virtual machine, a mailbox, or a database instance. On 圆4 systems, operations with bootable media and disk recovery with restart require at least 2 GB of memory.Ī management server with one registered workload consumes 200 MB of memory. The RAM usage might increase when backing up to extra large backup sets (4 TB and more). The peak consumption may reach 2 GB, depending on the amount and type of data being processed.īacking up to large backup sets (600 GB or more) requires about 1 GB of RAM per 1 TB of the backup set. While backing up, an agent typically consumes about 350 MB of memory (measured during a 500-GB volume backup).

The installation is performed with the default settings.

The following table summarizes disk space and memory requirements for typical installation cases.
