Hi Guys,
We have daily backups on nfs filesystems. Total amount of files is more than 50m. Unfortunately we cannot use journal, because it's not supported on nfs.
IBM Spectrum Protect server version is 8.1, BA client version is 8.1, OS is AIX 7.2 running on Power8, 4 virtual CPUs and 40GB of RAM. Server was installed from scratch (no version upgrades)
The problem/challenge that we are facing is how to complete this backup in daily cycle. Sometimes processing of the files is taking too much time, sometimes is faster. Performance of the server is stable, it seems that app doesn't use all available resources of the server.
I've attached output from the report of the last two days. yesterday the backup lasted 20 hours, and today 14 hours (similar amount of processed files, backed up and expired objects)
The other problem lately is expiration process (once per week) which is taking more than 14 hours.
DB size is around 300GB.
I'm wondering is this the maximum product can do, or something can be done to improve the performance.
Thanks in advance.
