Slow Mac Backup
We are trying to backup a Mac X-Serve using BE 15 but getting really poor job rate as per:
We have a pretty solid setup, Quantum DXi-4701 using bonded pair of Gbe, BE 15 is being run form a Dell Poweredge R510 using 4xGbe trunked together and the OSX 10.6 server XServe is the same 4xGbe trunked together all connected into a HP ProCurve 2910AL switch and the Mac data is stored on a Fibre attached infortrend RAID as per attached "Mac Backup Config" diagram.
I recently rebilt the Mac server from scratch installing all the latest drivers and Mac BE Client hoping it was something legacy holding it back. We have another OSX 10.9 (OS not server) XServe running our asset software similar setup using the on board Gbe bonded together and it achieves just shy of 4GBper min Job rate.
I'm totally stupped and hope someone on here may have a suggestion as i'm fresh outta ideas
Thanks
Is the job set to use client-side Dedupe or server-side Dedupe ? It should be set to server-side DeDupe for Mac clients.
What speed of transfer do you get when you use rysnc to transfer files across the network to the BE media server ?
If not a local Disk Storage, would you be able to test to a remote/network Disk Storage ?
