Hi,

=20

We just copied our userfiles from a SAN to a netapp, and have not bought
an NDMP-licence. We are now mapping the shares on our master/media
server, and backing up these shares.

Currently, I'm trying to backup two shares, one 160GB share with 2,2
million, and one 40GB share with 4,5 million files. The backup of these
shares are going extremely slow, 300 KB/s and 125 KB/s respectively.
When I backed up these shares from the SAN over ethernet, the backup
times were almost ten times faster.

I have no idea why this is happening, and I need help. I know there are
a lot of small files, but still. 125 KB/s basically means that the
backup is useless.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or experiences with this
problem.

Will an NDMP-license solve this situation?
