amowrey2 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hey all, I'm interested in the speeds people are achieving backing up users over a network. I'm averaging 46-86Mb/minute over the network, as opposed to 266Mb/min with the attached RAID. We're uprading our network from 10Base-T to 100 in the next month, so I'm wondering what kind of performance increase I might see and what others are seeing. This is what I'm working with now: Retrospect Server 6.0.193 Data compression: On Verification: On G4 Xserve Dual 1.33 SpectraLogic 2K (AIT-2) ATTO ExpressPCI Pro UL366 SCSI Tia, Andy Mowrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 So many things can affect backup speed, including network traffic, activity on clients and the backup Mac, size and number of files being backed up, etc., that you'll just have to wait and see. On our 100Base-T network, where we back up across routers, clients may back up anywhere between 25 MB/min and 225 MB/min. Compare usually runs faster than backup, but sometimes is slower. Overall speed (backup & compare) probably averages around 90-100 MB/min. By the way, I notice you're not using the latest version of Retrospect. I recommend that you update.

maxhowarth Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 we backup to ait2 turbo and achieve speeds of around 500mb/s. the network (1000 basetT) gets to around 350 dependant on traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
