B2D Backups on Backup Exec 2010 R3 Running Slow

I have Backup Exec 2010 R3, running RAWS.  I am backing up Windows 2008 R2 VM's and one Windows Exchange 2010 VM.  The backups started to run very slow this week, by that I mean they are running under 100mb per minute.  This makes them not finish on time.  I have another backup system that has the same setup.  It is not having any issues.  I have verified the jobs are the same and went menu by menu.  I have noticed that this appears to be a somewhat widespread problem.  I was hoping that someone out there had a solution.  Thank you very much.

    Okay I just finished up the Dfrag of the drive and still the same symptoms.  It will start out a little bit higher (around 700mb) and then drop down into the 350mb range, it will stay there until it is at 100% complete then begin to drop more while it finishes up.  It will drop down to around 100mb or less if we let the job run for a super long extended period of time.  any other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    If you open up the job when it slows to a crawl, where is it? At what stage?

    Thanks!

    Make sure that you have the latest LiveUpdates, and then use the console to push any agent updates out to the servers. I had one server that would backup for over 12 hours at 100mb/min. It always hung on the system state for ~10 hours. After updating BE and the agent on the server, the job finishes in 40 minutes.

    Okay a possible solution, i will let you know.  i unchecked the use GRT and i am running a backup now.  it is running at 1200mb.  I will then check it again and run another backup.  This should clear that folder and we could be good to go.
