BasilFawlty Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hi, I'm evaluating 7.0 Multiserver. We are currently using Verias BE 9.1 but are having a myriad of problems. So far Retrospect has had no problems except that the backup speed is about half of what BE was (272mB/min vs 522mB/min ... 122GB backed up). I'm using USB 2.0 hard drives connected to a WinXP Pro P3 800 w/ 256MB of ram (the same that BE ran on) as the backup computer. I am doing a new recycle backup over the network, one session and both computers are attached to the same gigabit switch. The computer being backed up is a Windows 2003 server. I am not using encryption or compression and not including the time it takes to generate a Snapshot which adds even more time to the backup. Is there something else that may be making this slower? All hardware is the same as BE used, so I hope something in Retrospect can be tweaked to improve speed. Any suggestions? I'd really like to make this work.

edwardotis Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Did you check to see if backup set verification is turned on or off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natew Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hi Are you accessing the network volume via Retrospect client or via Windows filesharing? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
