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. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by avro...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
