Hi, I use Netbackup 7.5 to back up a Netapp filer. I have certain volumes on that filer that have grown exceptionally large - approaching a terabyte per vol, and one volume holds more than 5 million files, a second has > 2.0 million. These are CIFS volumes, with NFS shares as well. We back them up over fiber using NDMP. This has been getting progressively slower, no surprise.
NDMP already does take a snapshot on the filer and uses that to back up the volume. That is perfect. However my backup of the larger of these two volumes is taking 26 hours plus, and is growing. Do I have any resource in the short term? Is there anything I can do to improve the time this is taking? Thanks in advance. I did look this question up, but I did not see any answers where the user was employing NDMP, hence my question.
