I'm hoping someone can help.
I'm still trying to look at what is causing slow backups.
I have a particular job which seems to take hours sometimes more than a day to backup
I've been looking at using omnispeed to see how fast this backup is going.
to give a background we have a cell manager on win 2k8 r2 running DP 7.03
we have put a media host in another network of which we have EVA disks provisioned to this server, these disks are the file library and we are trying to backup an old win2k3 sp2 which has disks provisioned from a 3par.
When i look at the network utilization on server we are trying to back up i can see its often only using less than 10% sometimes spikes to 20%, sometimes goes to 1.
I've also checked the network utilization on the media host and i can its got 2 CNA ports 10gb each and so the utilization is only at 0.50% most of the time
I've been checking the backup with omnispeed and i have it on a cont cycle and you can see it seems to show progress in bits at time

so I'm now at a loss to figure out what is causing the slow backup. Just to clarify this hasn't just recently happened, so i can't look at new things that have changed.
any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks
