Re: [Veritas-bu] VM snapshot deletion too slow

You should look at bpfis logs. It should tell you what operation is consuming most of the time.

We are backing up 16 jobs simultaneously in one policy.

But we have recently started facing this issue.

Could be a resource issue. Check on the backup host for any outstanding bpfis processes running.

Maybe reboot backup host and try again.

How many VM's are you backing up? I have seen this problem, and I had to reduce the number of VM's down in each backup.

Hello Geeks,

I am facing issues while snaspshot deletion at VMWARE side.

We are using Netbackup 7.5 and backing up our virtual machines with vmware policy.

Earlier snapshot creation and deletion was not that slow.

Now clients are taking like 6-7 hours for snapshot deletion and this is making vm too lsow.

Any piece of advise ?

PranavB
