Backup size increases when upgrade Tableau server from single node to multi node?

Abhishek Bhargava May 14, 2018 7:22 AM

Hello Everyone,

Could you please help me to understand this.

does the Tableau server backup size increases when we upgrade Tableau server from single node to multi node.

Previously we have one primary server with one worker node, now we have upgraded our Tableau server to High availability environment where we added 4 worker node with one primary node.

Previously the backup size near to 120GB now its showing near 230 GB after this updgrade

Hi Abhishek,

When creating a backup, Tableau will be saving data from the primary and the workers, which explains the increase of the size.

This kind of make sense because with multi-node you now have two file store processes (stores extracts) so your backup a little more than doubled.
