Netbackup 3.4.2
We have some clients has a large number of small files (300K), the size
of each file is
about 500 bytes, netbakcup is very slow to backup these small
files(more that 5 hours),
On legato netbackup, it is less than 2 housrs.
Does anybody has similar situation and how to solve it?
Thanks
