-- How do I check for the -mpx on my bpduplicate? The entire job is run through a GUI interface so I have never seen that option.
I first backup to tape and that is multiplexing so lots of jobs run at the same time. Then, I start duplication from the current tapes to new tapes. For some of the server images, it goes pretty quickly and I can actually watch the file size go up as it duplicates. Are you specifying -mpx on your bpduplicate? If you don't, the backups will be "de-multiplexed" on the copies, which mean it will have to go through the original tapes several times to pick out each backup image individually. If you use -mpx, it'll grab all the backup images in one pass and leave them multiplexed on the copies. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by thomas.ander...@unither-pharma.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
