Kurian,

Having just gone through something similar... Others have mentioned
options using your current technology. As this is a problem that does
not appear to be going away, maybe a long term plan would be in order?

If you plain need to transport more data and see no end in sight, a 10GB
upgrade of your infrastructure data network would be quite helpful.

Also, consider a deduping technology, Avamar or DataDomain I would think
would help you immensely by substantially lowering what is required to
be put across the wire.

P.S. Please do share with us your final solution and the results you
achieve. It helps us all prepare...

Semper fidelis et paratus, /ALE

Subject: [Networker] Backup options for speeding up a backup of Win 2008
server.

Hi,
I am using Nw 7.6.2 Server edition on Win2008 to backup many clients. I
have a Client in Win 2008 server 64 bit which has around 1.5 TB on one
single parttion. Its normally a repository for all our software packages
etc. But the main problem is that it takes 2 -3 days to complete the
whole backup of the complete partion . Is there someway I can speed up
the backup of this partition. May be its due to N/w constraints iam not
able. Could we configure a NDMP backup for this partition for this
server?

For your info. i have configured NDMP backup for a NAS in oour
affiliate. But is it possible to take a backup of this Server through
Fibre optic connectivity.

Your suggestions would be valuable.

Thanks and Regards,
Kurian
