mastercam Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi, I'm getting around 10-12 MB/min transfer. Are there any setting I could address to speed this up? Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Please expound your environment. OS's, Retrospect version, Exchange version, has it always run at this speed, what are you backing up to, relevant network details, etc, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercam Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Retro: 7.5.258 Server/catalog files: Dell PE 2650 (Windows Server 2000) 2 gig ram Array/storage: EMC CX 300 Gig Eth. to everything - except: backup servers are fibre to the array. Exchange 2003 (on Windows Server 2003) with Retro 7.5.116 Yes - it has always run slow. We are backing up bricklevel and the store. Bricklevel nightly...store incremental daily/full weekly. <note - I received an assertion error on the mailboxes last night - I don't know at what point in the script the job failed!!!> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Have you configured Retrospect to run as a user with the appropriate priveleges for backup up Exchange? See this article: http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=9480&p=2 Also, how many mailboxes do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercam Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yes. 161 mailboxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I see you're on an older version of 7.5. Update your application. Have you run Exchange utilities lately to check for any corruption? Are you backing up any other clients? Are mailboxes the only sources you're getting this speed on? Have you done any sort of troubleshooting on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to (sort of) threadjack here, but where do I find these utilities, exactly? What are their names? What problems can they correct?

mastercam Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The update of the application effects other items that aren't a concern...that's why I havn't updated. If the update text was relevent - I would update. The stores are backing up at a high speed....it's only the brick level. Have I done any trouble shooting....I'm trying too...the brick level is the only thing running slow on our back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think the EMC Retrospect developers themselves know that. Why don't you just update? What have you got to lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercam Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The last time I did an update - it cost me extra time to uninstall the update - because the update had a problem!!! If the developers don't even know...and the update text is not complete......then I need to be looking at another companyies product. Again - the only thing running slow is brick level...the storage gorups are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just keep a copy of the current version, should you need to revert.

You won't find ANY software in the world where a developer knows EVERY implication of the change he/she just made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are the problem is already fixed (even if it is not explicitly pointed out in the release notes). If you refer to my first post I asked one question: "Are there any setting I could address to speed this up?" As far as trying the other items. Yes, at this point I am not willing do an update as I had to to go through a complete reinstall of my backup system the last time that happened. Right now I have only 1 component that seems to be an issue. The basic step of trying the latest version cost me 2 days of grief the last time. Per a suggestion, I looked at the acount settings - the user we had was in the Schema group and others...I have set up a new ID for testing the Exchange back-ups. It seem that the new ID can connect to the Store just fine - but I get an authentician error on the bricklevel. In the 2d world of forums it may appear differently, however, I do appreciate the help.

If that really is the only question you want answered, I say: "No, I don't think so." As for SOLVING your speed problem, I don't have any more ideas. Sorry.

I was referring to the built-in Exchange utilities eseutil and isinteg. I am not an Exchange administrator, and I think a lesson on that subject would be a little out of place here.
