I have a strange thing happening during night back-up of 4 servers. Every night I backup 4 servers with retrospect clients installed to a AIT 25-50 GB drive. - The first server is a AppleShare IP server with a Hardware Raid 5 tower. When I do my back-up on this server the performance is 66,4 MB per minute (44,2 per minute copy and 133,5 per minute compare) on 52 files with a total of 133,6 MB. - The second server is a Electronic fax server with the files being back-up placed on a Softraid mirror. When I do my back-up on this server the performance is 20,1 MB per minute (15,8 per minute copy and 27,7 per minute compare) on 74 files with a total of 3786 KB. - The third server is a FirstClass server with the file being back-up placed on a Softraid mirror, this file is a retrospect back-up file which has been made by a retrospect program installed locally on the FirstClass server. When I do my back-up on this server the performance is 10,1 MB per minute (23,7 per minute copy and 6,4 per minute compare) on 1 file with a total of 1,5 GB. - The fourth server is a 4th Dimension Database server with the files being back-up placed on a Softraid mirror. When I do my back-up on this server the performance is 35,9 MB per minute (47,5 per minute copy and 28,8 per minute compare) on 7 file with a total of 3,2 GB. The first 2 server's seem fine, the compare rate is 2 or 3 times faster than the copy rate which is fine. Now whats really puzzling me is the last 2 servers, Why is my compare rate soo slow on these 2 servers ??? Now that is the big question, Does anybody have a answer ? I'm looking forward to hearing any input's you might have. regards, Jesper Greve Telefon: +45 4583 1222 Telefax: +45 4583 1322 E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.tsm.dk/ -- ---------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: <http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
