We have a backup running for 6 days now. The backup job is for a file server and the speed is less than 1MB/s. Ours is a new implementation/fresh install of DP 8.1 and this is the job that was switched over from Backup Exec. Please refer to the attached document picture.
Server1 is the backup server and cell manager. Has two network interfaces - production and backup VlAN.
Storage1 is the disk based backup system (storeeasy) that has windows 2012 running on it. It has two network interfaces- production and backup VLAN.
Server1 Configuration
The current device configuration
1. FileServer_device:
- Gateway::
- General:: device type : Backup to Disk, Interface Type : StoreOnce software dedup, Gateway
System : Server1.domain.com
- Setting:: Media Type : StoreOnce software deduplication, Default Media Pool :
File_Server_Disk.
*ADVANCED :: Server-side deduplication is checked, CRC unchecked, Segment size is
50000 MB, Disk agent buffers is 8 and block size is 256.
- Policies :: Both gateway policies are checked (gateway may be used for restore, gateway may
be used ....). No gateway tags.
- Stores :: \\Storage1-backupVLAN-dnsRecordname\FileServerStore
2. Tape library device
The current backup configuration
To backup the file server, the filesystem spec was used. The file server is windows 2003. Here are the settings:
1. source : FileServer
2. Destination: FileServer_device
3. Options: No options for "Backup specification options", protection is 8 weeks, in Filesystem Options->Advanced->Other->Display statistical info is checked. Also, in WinFS Options -> Use shadow copy and "Backup share information for directories" is checked.
The storage1 has Storeonce component installed. To backup the data to Storage1 through backup vlan, a dns record was created for that network interface and it was imported as a virtual host to the list of clients.
To backup this to a tape library, an object copy automated job was created. However since the file server has been backing up for 6 days, we are not there yet.
Am I missing something??
