Disable cache during backup?
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:42 pm
Hello! I'm new to this forum, but I've been playing around with Primocache for over a year now. Really like the product!
Current setup is as follows:
Ryzen 7 3700x
500 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD (C: Drive, not mapped to Primocache)
32GB DDR4 3000mhz (shared system RAM and cache)
L1: 12.4 GB
L2: 120GB SSD (PNY CS900)
Cached Array: 3 x 4TB Western Digital Hard Drives. (D: Drive)
The "wrinkle" in my system is that I have a 10TB Western Digital External Drive which takes a differential backup each day. This means that it records the changes made to my C: and D: drives once per day. Unfortunately, this also means that sometimes a massive read happens on my D: Drive, which causes a large portion of the cached data in L2 to be overwritten.
My question is, is there a way to disable Primocache while the backup is happening, and then renable once it has completed?
