ITWB Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am experiencing very poor performance on backups using version 7.5 disk to disk. Backups of .bak files is taking 14 hours for a 2.2 gb file. The server is a 2.8 ghz xeon processor 2 gb ram to a raid 5 Sata array. I have had to exclude large files as they have been preventing backup. I am using the compare to md5 digest verification option thinking it was faster. Is there a way to configure the performance?

Mayoff Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 This does seem really slow. Is this a local backup or a network backup? What operation system? Is this data on a local volume or on a Network Disk? What file system type are the files stored on? Are you using compression? Are you using Encryption? What is the exact performance reported in your operations log for copy, compare, idle/loading/preparing, what is the total duration? How many total files? What happens if you copy the data when it is stored on a different disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITWB Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 It looks like it is doing a full backup instead of a normal backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITWB Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think that I found the problem, still need to test but I did not have 'Dont add duplicates to Backup Set' turned on in Matching Options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITWB Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 That sure boosted the speed, but I wonder if everything is being backed up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
