Hello Jeff
If you have Win2k3 / Win2k3 clients, goto the GUI / Host Master /
Properties and Client Attributes. :-) I guess you have that Jave based Gui
available.
Av - anti Virus on the Windows Client - assuming you run any Anti
virus. Again as a test , try turning off :-)

here. How does one turn of VSP/VSS on Windows
2000/2003? AV?
Also does this advice
only hold for Windows 2000/2003 or for any Windows server?
We have some backups
that go incredibly slowly and I'm thinking of suggesting this to the Windows
Admins here to do some testing.

First
thing, is to turn off VSP / VSS if its Windows 2000 / Windows
2003.
Any
AV, should be turned off.
Also
look for any large cache files created on your C: Drive - example being
vxfiVspcache_1.tmp (make sure you are set to view hidden or system
files).
Any
disk I/O software should be turned off.
Also,
try a backup policy (create a test one) that does JUST the C: drive on its own
for this particular client.

C drive slow
Ok,
I am looking for help.
I am running a Solaris 9 master
server, with 5.1MP3. I have 8 windows servers that I backup, 3 of them
are 2000, and 5 of them are on 2003 SP2.
Well, I setup the policy for
each server to by ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, and also turned on
Multistream/Multiplex.
So it kicks off 3
channels: Shadow, C drive, D drive.
C drive is 2 hardware mirrored
disk, D drive is a hardware raid 5 of 4 disks.
Well, the C drive backup takes
forever! As an example from 1 server....
Shadow -- 4 mins (911,909
kbytes) C drive -- 2 hours 29 mins
(49,461 kbytes) D drive -- 1 hour 54 mins
(95,458,574 kbytes)
My exclude list for this server
has the standard entries and a few that I have added.
C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\*.lock C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\Temp C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\* *.mdf *.ldf C:\Windows\NTUninstall*
C:\Windows\PCHEALTH
I am trying to figure out why it
takes so long to backup the C drive. Should I be excluding
something? I am at a point that I am going to remove the C drive from
the backup. SQLSERVER is running on this box(s).
Kevin
