Please TURN Tracker.exe OFF !!! that will not help the backups speed at all
!
You will not need to do a restart - just untick it - logoff, log back on and
then stop / restart the NetBackup Client Service on the client.
Also, ensure no one else is logged onto this box via Terminal Services as
well please!
Then try it ............

Yep - tracker was running - that's the NB Client job Tracker, right? (Or
wrong?)
As to the files, they are the bane of my life... We do have a rather large
amount of small files on some servers - funnily enough the largest amount of
small files are actually on the quicker server (it's about 4m files but only
150GB). The compressed folders only get backed up at the weekend when time
is not such an issue.
At the weekend, one of the streams (the best performing as well...) backed
up 198852 files and 169037617Kb in 4:57 (9.6MB/sec). There was another
stream running, as well as another job (this went on to the second drive).
Cheers
Rob

Quick Q - is TRACKER.EXE running on the box?
Goto RUN and type MSCONFIG and press return.
Check the startup tab - if tracker.exe is ticked, untick it!
What type of files are you backing up? Larger, small single files?
compressed files?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup Speeds
Hi all,
I have a Win2k3SP1 file server cluster member that will not back up at any
reasonable kind of speed - it will sometimes kick off at about 12MB/s and
can drop as low as 3MB/s (avg is about 5MB/s). It backs up over Gbit
Ethernet, and so I would expect to be seeing somewhat faster speeds - I have
another server that does not drop below 16MB/s.
The policy is split into 3 streams, with multiplex set at 2 (when I set it
to 3 I have Paged Pool errors on the client followed by an OS hang.
(Rectified as of today with a reg key). Occasionally one of the streams
when it kicks off will sit around about 700K/s (always the same
drive/folders as well) and still be running first thing in the morning...
I've even shuffled the jobs around so that this job is the only one running
for a couple of hours.
I've checked all the usual stuff - link speed/duplex (manually set at
1000/Full), virus scan (disabled), windows Open File backups have been
disabled for this client as well, as I was having the odd snapshot error.
Master server is Win2k3SP1 5.0MP3 with all clients at same level. 2xLTO2
drives in a STK500SL library.
Any ideas? I'm stumped - just to add further confusion, both cluster nodes
exhibit the problem to a degree. Argh!
Thanks
