If you have multiple drives (D: / E: etc etc) you can try
multistreaming.  NBU will take each one of those drive letters and
create child jobs and will run each child job simultaneously as compared
to sequential.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Over 2 million files to backup - how long?


All,

One of my windows servers has 2,162,516 files taking up 100 GB and it
has taken 18 hours to backup.

Is there a way to improve this?  Or is there something I can check to
see if there is an issue?

We are running NB Ent Server 5.1mp5 on a Windows 2000 server.

Thank you.
