Re: [Veritas-bu] Small files FS backup too slow
Title: Message Well as its windows ensure that TRACKER.exe is not running (this is usually a small computer icon near the clock) No AV is turned on No disk defragment software is running. - in other words turn off as much I/O as poss while the backup runs. you can check if tracker is on by going to Start Run type MSCONFIG and press OK click on the STARTUP TAB. If there is a TICK in tracker.exe that will NOT help :-) Regards Simon Weaver3rd Line Technical SupportWindows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Limited, B23AA IM (DCS)Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message-From: Veritas Netbackup [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 September 2006 20:27To: NB List MailSubject: [Veritas-bu] Small files FS backup too slowWe have a Windows 2003 client, I have installed NB with MP4 patch.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Small files FS backup too slow
Use multiple data streams. Make a file list splitting the directories of that drive letter to 10 streams (ore more). Back them up together. The better way to deal with this is to implement advanced client. It will backed up this drive as a row drive (fast) and will give you the opportunity to do individual file restores. > ---Original Message--- > From: Veritas Netbackup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Veritas-bu] Small files FS backup too slow > Sent: 23 Sep '06 21:26 > > We have a Windows 2003 client, I have installed NB with MP4 patch. > > The D:\ drive has directories with small log files in thousands, now that > we have increased the client timeout to 1800, the backups seem to start, > but the estimation and backup of the files seem to take forever.
