Thought id better add ...

I heard it is bad to have hardware and software compression, so hence the
question where is hardware compression turned on and off, so i can check if
it is on.

Currently on my other classes i do not have software compression turned on,
and was thinking of turning it on for the class containing client in
questions.

Normally how long would people expect it to take to back up 14 gig.

Dave

no the 2 -3 meg /second was the ftp speed i was getting over the network
which wasn't too bad.

I got 4 DLT drives in  the Sun L1000.

Yes using multiplexing, but im currently running a test of this client on
its own and it has only backed up 205 meg in 1 hour.

Where is hardware compressions turned on or off? because someone suggested
turning software compression on .

I could do this for this class, although I do not do it for other classes.

what drives do you have???? 2-3 meg is not that great if you have dlt8000,
9840 or LTOs.

if you have DLT4000 or DLT7000 you should still get 4-5 meg per second.

Are you using multiplexing??

  Nic is set to full duplex, 100 meg adv_autoneg_cap = 0 ie autonegotiation
off.

  Network ftp test was good speed, about 2 - 3 meg a second.

  So stuck now. Going to try a manual backup of client while nothing else is
running. See if theres any difference.

  Cheers

  What's the NIC configuration?  Is it Auto-Negotiate?  Try setting it to
the speed of the switch you are attached to (ie 100 FULL)

    I have Netbackup 3.2 on solaris 8 with a sun L1000 storage unit.

    I have multiple clients backing up, but seem to have a problem with 1
client. It is taking like 7-8 hours to backup 14 gig. where as I have
another client taking about 5 hours to backup 70 gig . The latter is ok, but
the machine taking so long to backup 14 gig seems v extreme.

    Has anyone any ideas where to look why this might be doing this, or seen
this b4?

    cheers

    Dave
