srnath Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'm using restrospect 6.5 , its woking fine, I will backup approximately 20Gb of data daily to a tape / disk (both), My problem is backup takes long time over a period of time( after rebooting of my server its backups data in 3 1/2 hrs and after 12 days it took 7 hours to backup same data) Is it problem with any temp files?disk space? memory? Does any one had same problem before? Pl mail me any suggestions. Thanks Srnath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi What are the performance statistics in your log? Large numbers of small files will slow down the backup a lot. Are you backing up locally or over a network? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srnath Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi Nate, We backup locally to Tape and also to Network attachage storage device. Performance statistics after reboot the machine: Tape: Performance : 125 mb/min Elapsed time : 3hrs:.30 min Network Device Performance : 145 mb/min Elapsed time : 3hrs:10 min. After 12 days the the performance statistics are: Tape: Performance : 125 mb/min Elapsed time : 7hrs:.25 min Network Device Performance : 145 mb/min Elapsed time : 7hrs:15 min. Then next day display errors - 1019(not enough resources) on each folder we back up. Srnath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi This indicates that the snapshot creation is taking a lot longer than it used to. How many files and folders are on the source volume? How much memory is on the machine running Retrospect? How much free space is on the C drive of the machine running Retrospect?

natew Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi Really? So you have 16 1.2 GB files and you are getting this error? Can you post more information from your log showing the backup operation from start to finish? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natew Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi Make sure to turn off the multi-volume data sets open file backup option. As a test try dropping the write timeout to "500" (half a second) and try the backup again. Does the 3047 error go away? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srnath Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi, I made the changes as you mentioned, The backup jobs ran successfully with out any errors, Will those changes affect while restoring? Shall I continue with those changes? Thanks Srnath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Slowly increase the time out until you find the sweet spot. i.e. the highest number possible where you don't get any errors. Other than that you are good as is. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
