We need more details too. I'm guessing this is probably 420KB/sec (like what you would see in the job detail) which is dismal. Even 4.2MB/sec is pretty bad. 42MB/sec would be OK, but I'd be guessing the bottleneck is the VM.
It sounds like you are saying you have one of the tape drives zoned directly to the VM and it writes directly to the drive so that data is not going over the network. If so, you should see good performance. Things to consider.. Make absolutely sure the data is being sent to the drive on the VM. Double-check your configs. Have you confirmed I/O is on the VM going to the drive? Maybe your accidently sending it to the master/media server still over the network. Consider the VM resources.. what is it doing during the backup? Is the CPU pegged, memory util at 100% or what? Data type.. file systems with millions of tiny files tend to backup slow. You could try a raw device backup or Flashbackup. Consider this a last resort. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
