EXTREMELY slow

Thank you Chavdar Cholev and Jeanne Bruno for sharing. I forgot to tell, we do 
skip the integrity check, and there are only passive Databases on the server.
Are your backups going to TSM server or to a local storage? Im interested 
either way.
 
Best Regards,
John

Betreff: Re: [ADSM-L] Exchange Backup with Flashcopy Manager EXTREMELY slow We 
have ~ 2TB full exchange backup and it takes ~ 20 hours. There is exch db 
consistency check before backup which takes considerable amount of time.
It can be switched off... but it is not recommnded....
