VMDK GRT Backup hanging between 600-800mb

I am experienceing some issues when trying to backup VMDK files, i have created a policy that it backups up certain servers vmdk file using GRT, the first backup backed up but there was an error message on that one, but since than the backup seems to hang around the 600-800mb mark and the job rate is down to 1 MB/Min.  So im having to cancel the job the following day

The set up is as follows

Backup Exec 2010 R3

Windows Server 2008 R2 Std

Dell DR4000

I have a VMDK NON GRT BACKUP which is working fine on the selected servers

    Matter of interest, remove the AD server and try the backup job again.If it continues with the next server, then it shows the issue lies with more than just the first server.

    Thanks!

    Is it file-folder GRT or application GRT which isn't working ? Pls ensure the media server & the remote agents on the VMs are fully patched....Open the backup job check on which resource (vmdk), its hanging...try excluding that resource from the backup & re-check pls..

    Hi,

     


    What was the error message and how did you resolve that? And did your backup speeds tank after that?

    Thanks!

    i have now removed the AD server and a few others, just to reduce the backup size and time, and it it now backing up, seems it may be an issue with the AD VMDK.

    Would you have an idea as what on this particular AD VMDK may be causing an issue.

    Try the following:

    1. Reinstall RAWS on the server;

    2. Deselect the AD server and reselect it.

    Thanks!
