[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 - Windows Slow duplication Tape to Tape

2015-01-28 Thread avro 42
First make sure your data buffers are set. This can improve performance

InstallPath\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config

(touch files are plain text files no extensions)
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE

This can be a trial and error kind of thing but we use LOT3-5 and we have the 
data buffers set to 256.

2nd thing consider not duplicating from tape. They can only do one thing at a 
time and can end up searching for data sequentially. Consider basic disk and 
staging, or synthetic backup, or deduplication in combination with data life 
cycle policies.

NBU 7.1 is fairly old I also suggest upgrading to the latest release to avoid 
possible bugs in the software.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 - Windows Slow duplication Tape to Tape

2015-01-28 Thread tanders1
Hello,

I have been pulling my hair out for a couple of weeks on this issue. I first 
backup to tape and that is multiplexing so lots of jobs run at the same time. 
Then, I start duplication from the current tapes to new tapes. For some of the 
server images, it goes pretty quickly and I can actually watch the file size go 
up as it duplicates. Then, there are server images that take forever, sometimes 
over two days where there can be five minutes that go by with no progress at 
all made with the duplication. What could be wrong? What can I look at to debug 
this issue? Thanks in advance for your expertise.

-Tom
