Backup to the Network Drive.

Hi

If you're writing data to a network drive, and it's likely to take more than a day or two, you might be better to look at splitting the job into several smaller jobs, so these can be written to the network drive simultaneously.

As it is, if the connection to the drive is lost, the Backup Exec job will cancel and you'll have to start over.

Thank you for answer, but this is bad for me, this jobs is one big file, and i cant split it.

Is the data being backed up in constant use, as if you are taking 2-3 days to back it up, then it's pretty much pointless, as by the time you've backed it up, it's out of date already?

Do you mind me asking how much data you are talking about?

  

Hi inot:

Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?   There are experts here with lots of backup experience, including myself, and it seems like you may be using the wrong tools or procedures to get whatever it is you need to have accomplished.  

I've got very big file, aroung 100Gb, and I need to move it to another location (another office). Can I make it by BE if connection will be lost? 

Sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly, but is this a one-off copy of the file that is required?

Hi

So would you be using Backup Exec to back the file up direct to a server at the remote location, hence the amount of time you think it will take?
