"Live" Job rate differs from "completed" job rate.
I have been trying to improve my job rate on backup jobs. In doing so, I have closely watched as they progress through. When the job is in progress, you can see the 'job rate' change dynamically. And I have seen that number go fro 2,500 MB /min to 10,500 MB /min. And crazy as it sounds, I have attached a screenshot where it reported 205,000 MB /min.
My question is as follows:
1. Why does the 'Live' job rate show a job rate totally different than what is reported once the job completes and moves down to the 'Job history' section?
2. Why do some jobs take longer to kick off? I ask becasue my fastest 'job rate' as seen in attachment is 1,046 MB /min. But that took 7:17 minutes to complete. However, the same job earlier had reported a slower job rate of 954 MB /min but it completed in 6:34 minutes.
Thanks...
there are many things that can affect the job rate speeds take a look at this KM http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH49521 and a virus scan can affect job performance so excluding the Backup Exec processes from any virus scan running might be helpful.
