i would disagree... depending on what you use for vmware (hw, disk layout,
mem, cpu , etc..), you could notice nothing or see horrid perf in a vm. i
rarely saw more than 2mb/sec doing brick level backups and we had san attached
storage for mdb's, sep mirror for logs, sep mirror for os, gig eth, etc...
brick level as the orig poster noted is slow at any rate, saying you use it
from a vm, MAY add to the slowness, perhaps not. it does seem like a decent
approach to eliminate it as a possible issue.
aaarrrggghhh!!!!

Guys
There is ABSOLUTELY
nothing wrong with that! In fact I run a dedicated GSX Server that hosts TONS
of
win2k3 VM's and even clusters. So that is not going to be the problem. And all
our backups are absolutely fine. anyhow.... thats another subject
:-)
Root point to start
with is the end client, and my first thoughts are:
disable tracker.exe
if it is running (Start / RUN / MSCONFIG and look for tracker.exe - if its
ticked turn it off).
disable any 3rd
party AV software
If the client is
configured for VSS, turn that off as a temporary measure
Network settings on
the client
Is the client on the
same VLAN as the NetBackup Server? Any timeouts? Have you enabled any
logging?
hope this is of some
help.....

Hi
We have an exchange client that
for some reason is backing up it mailboxes very slow. We know that mailboxes
is by nature slow, but this servers is REALLY slow. Under 1 MB per stream.
Because it is a virtual machine, it is backed up as a client. (Should have
been a media server due to its size, but being virtual server, it is not
possible.) All necessary configuration files have been created
(NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS and SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS etc.)
Other exhange servers and their
mailboxes in the domain, running fine. Any ideas?
