My 'backup' kicked off last night - didn't even manage to become
'backups' because the initial full took too long. My L9 tape
unit backed up 27gb without compression in 4 hours (from single disk
of client), leaving not enough time for my 60gb volume to be backed up
next before morning.
So I need a little help tuning things up (and fast).
Looks like multiple data streams may help - one of my clients
has the volume I want backed up on a E250 + A1000 w/RAID5. Has anyone
used the multiple data streams with this config? How many streams
can I use?
How adversely does this effect single disk machines?
Are there any other ways to speed up the backup process? Does my
initial speed seem reasonable?
Thanks!
