anwnn Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I've been noticing one of my Win2k client backups are EXTREMELY slow, around 2mb/min. This is on a 100mb switched network, with the server on a 1000mb port. I've seen this issue posted around the forums before, yet no resolution. Client is running 6.0 for windows, server is 5.0 Server, on a Mac OSXS 10.2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Do the backups of your other clients run at a reasonable speed? In one thread a user posted that the backups slowed after an optimization package was applied to the backup machine. Have you done anything like that? Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldorfm Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Just as a general troubleshooting task I would verify that NIC protocol negotiations are working properly. Many network admins prefer to set everything fixed i.e. 100 full-duplex vs. auto-negotiate. I think this is a relict from old days, and it would rather be difficult to run into these auto-negotiate incompatibilies anymore. Anyway, if there is a mismatch between a Switch-port and a attached computer than there will be lots of re-transmits as auto-negotiate will try to establish a error handling protocol, which does not exist in fixed full-duplex mode. Prior to OSX 10.3 it was not possible to manually set the NIC without unsupported tools, and it was always auto - working fine though if the switch was set to auto too.
