Correct - by default its turned on - if you add the client name to the list,
you can configure VSS / VSP for your needs.

Actually you will have to add the client to that list then turn off windows
open file option. At least all of my servers had to be manually added to
that list.

Jeff,
That I do know how to do. Go into the GUI and "Host Properties","Master
Servers", then select properties on your master server. There is a "client
attributes" tab under there you will find the windows server listed and you
can disable open file backups.

UNIX admin here. How does one turn of VSP/VSS on Windows 2000/2003?
AV?
Also does this advice only hold for Windows 2000/2003 or for any Windows
server?
We have some backups that go incredibly slowly and I'm thinking of
suggesting this to the Windows Admins here to do some testing.

First thing, is to turn off VSP / VSS if its Windows 2000 / Windows 2003.
Any AV, should be turned off.
Also look for any large cache files created on your C: Drive - example being
vxfiVspcache_1.tmp (make sure you are set to view hidden or system files).
Any disk I/O software should be turned off.
Also, try a backup policy (create a test one) that does JUST the C: drive on
its own for this particular client.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Windows Backup of C drive slow
Ok, I am looking for help.
I am running a Solaris 9 master server, with 5.1MP3. I have 8
windows servers that I backup, 3 of them are 2000, and 5 of them are on 2003
SP2.
Well, I setup the policy for each server to by ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, and
also turned on Multistream/Multiplex.
So it kicks off 3 channels: Shadow, C drive, D drive.
C drive is 2 hardware mirrored disk, D drive is a hardware raid 5 of
4 disks.
Well, the C drive backup takes forever! As an example from 1
server....
Shadow -- 4 mins (911,909 kbytes)
C drive -- 2 hours 29 mins (49,461 kbytes)
D drive -- 1 hour 54 mins (95,458,574 kbytes)
My exclude list for this server has the standard entries and a few
that I have added.
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\*.lock
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\Temp
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\*
*.mdf
*.ldf
C:\Windows\NTUninstall*
C:\Windows\PCHEALTH
I am trying to figure out why it takes so long to backup the C
drive. Should I be excluding something? I am at a point that I am going to
remove the C drive from the backup. SQLSERVER is running on this box(s).
Kevin
