Backing up 180TB, 15825579 files @ 185KB/s :(

We normally see good performance (what I expect from nfs, 10GB connection and 6x LTO7 drives).

 

But currently I am at 168 hours, 108,989,304 kilobytes backed up.

 

I've checked network, media server, robot, and nas storage. All are opereating normally and optimally. When I try rsyncing files off I'm seeing speed I would normally expect.

But in terms of netbackup I have no idea where to even start looking to see the issue. I mean backing up at like 185KB/s seems completely ridiculous.

 

Thoughts?

      Testing with tar, I get the speed I would expect. Even rsync across the nfs share.

       

      This is def something related to Netbackup :\

        You did the tar with the same backup selection as you choose in NetBackup?

        Makes no sense that you get different results when using Linux's tar and NetBackup's tar.

  • How fast is it if you just copy some files from the NFS share to the local file system o the media server ?

    Additionally, make a small backup from the NFS share, just enough to watch it go slowly for say 10 - 15 mins - then when the backup complates, look in the Details Status of the job for the lines that look like:
