017 - Wie viele Dateien und welche Datenmenge kann ich in einem Node speichern?

A maximum of 10 million files or 20TB should be stored in a node. You can check how many files or what amount of files are stored in your nodes in DATWeb under Occupancy.

The reason for this restriction is the very fast increase of the recovery time when exceeding these thresholds: 
Up to 10 million files or 20TB in one node the recovery is performant.
From 30 million files or 100TB in a node, full-scale recovery becomes barely feasible.

Split your backups/archives into multiple nodes if the number of files or amount of data is too large.

For further questions about splitting the data into multiple nodes please contact our service desk.
