Offload: file option vs DB

Solved1.15K views28th June 2022data sharing database offload System Center

Please, when offloading snapshots, can this be done to a file?
It seems a supported option, but is there a way to host the file on a remote path?
Or shall we keep that file on the local disk?

Thanks

PS: this use case is based on DMS clusters,
but each DMA has a local Cassandra (no Cassandra cluster & no ElasticSearch)

Offloading data to local files is supported from DataMiner 10.0.11 onward. The files are placed in C:\Skyline DataMiner\System Cache\Offload on the local DMA server. Remote file offloads are not currently supported. A standard offload DB (MySQL, MSSQL etc.) would be required to offload data remotely. It's also possible that an external tool could sweep up files in the offload directory and place them elsewhere, but I'm not familiar with these tools.

Below is an example setup of file offloads where average trending (5m records) is offloaded every 5m, and the resultant files.
