Re: [Veritas-bu] Advice & Help - Linux Server 14TB

I would look at synthetics ... not quite
as large as you, but I backup around 8TBs on one linux (RHEL 4) server
over the weekend (every weekend) and it completes in well under 24 hours.
(About 16-20 hours from memory)
The very first backup has to be a full,
but once that is out of the way, you should be able to do a full synthetic
every weekend in well under 48 hours (I'm going on what I have above so
is just a guess - you may be much faster than my infrastructure as its
nothing flash ... though it is completely gigabit)
I should add that I've been using synthetics
on this particular server for around 4.5 years now, and they are reliable
and fast - unless you have to "re-seed" the synthetic with an
initial full backup; I have had a few go bad such that I have had to re-seed
the backup, but that's been rare and only happened 2-3 times in all that
time. HIGHLY recommended for large backups.

Advice & Help - Linux Server 14TB

All
I am hoping you can help....
Im not too familiar with Linux, but we have
a RedHat Box, that is a VM Guest on an ESX Host, that has RDM's totalling
14TB
The backups are done over the LAN - Painfully
slow as you can imagine.
Im wondering what options I have in terms
of trying to improve performance for this client. So far its taking close
to 3 days to run.
It is on a 1GB Network, as I understand.
But does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Si_______________________________________________
