RE: Backup Slow

Title: Message

If you have recently turned on Antivirus software (as we did) for your backup servers, it will, at the very least, double the length of time it takes.  If, of course, you are using real-time scanning, the index files are constantly changing and are constantly being scanned at the point of change...

 

 

Try excluding the directories where dynamic changes are made for your backups if this is the case...

Subject: Backup Slow

Hello, we backup our servers with a Dell DLT 7000 7 Slot Tape Drive, using Veritas Backup Exec. Ver. 8. For some strange reason it is taking double the amount of time to backup than it used to. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
