We are attempting to optimize SQL database backup performance and would like a reply on the following:
The MAXTRANSFERSIZE limit for SQL Server is 4MB. We would like to be able to have a much larger MAXTRANSFERSIZE, on the order of 100GB or even a terabyte so that we can maintain large contiguous database chunks and direct them to one or more tape or disk device targets. This would provide us the benefit of parallelizing database backups in a similar manner to Oracle RMAN channels, which have a SECTION SIZE that can be as large as terabytes in size.
Thank you.
