Re: [Veritas-bu] Slow moving backup.

2010-12-03 Thread Saran Brar

Does the backup eventually fail. If it does with what error code. Try running 
backup in multiple streams using wild card and look out for a troublesome 
folder or a file. It can be a stale NFS file entry and it can be resolved 
either by rebooting or mounting and unmounting the file system.

There are a lot of it depends here.

It depends on how many jobs you're scheduling and how frequently.  It
depends on whether you're a media server as well as a master server. It
depends on whether you're doing de-dupe.  It depends on how many restores
you're doing and how big those restores are.

Since you have a pair of master servers now, you're in good shape to know
what your expected load should look like.   Take the requirements for both
servers, add them up, figure out how much you're currently behind the
curve, and add your expected growth.

You can pick up a nice DL580 G7 - the performance model comes
pre-configured with 4 8-core processors and 64GB of RAM.  We're getting one
with Linux to replace our aging Solaris-based server but there's no
