Christian,
My environment is 64-bit Red Hat Linux, so it may not match up exactly with
Windows, but nsrim runs daily on my NetWorker 7.6.1 server too, as it should.
From start to finish though, nsrim only takes a minute or two to process all
ten of my Data Domain mount points. I use Boost too, but I doubt that would
make any difference because Boost only comes into play when the backups are in
progress and it moves the de-duplication service off the Data Domain system and
onto the NetWorker server or storage node where the Boost devices are mounted.
You might need to do some system tuning on your Windows box or in how you've
configured NetWorker to use your Data Domain system. I encourage you to give
the good people at EMC tech support a shout by opening up a PowerLink service
request to have them work on this issue with you.
