Re: [Veritas-bu] Need some suggestions

What is your network speed:

This may not be your problem if you are getting 2000KB/sec, but might be worh a try.
However that is slow. I get that only on a couple of very old Compaq Tru 64 servers that max out
at 100MB

Check these settings:

If you are running 1G then be sure the NIC and the switch are both set to auto negotiate.

Things can get slow if you are backing up lots of small files.

The setup…
Client:
Windows 2003 Svr
6 TB of very small files…Word, Excel etc

NBU environment
6.0 MP4
all Windows…media and master node.
LTO3 drives SAN Attach (FC)
Mutlistreaming enabled
1GB isolated network
Multiplexing enabled, and don’t laugh it is set to 20…I know I know hopefully I’ll never need to do a full system restore.

I’ve isolated all policies from the media server that handles this clients backup request.

And yet my full backup is running anywhere from 1.5 – 2 days, my transfer rate to tape is running around 2000 KB/sec…horrible

What else can I do to help speed this up?

Thanks
