NetBackup CBT (Vmware vSphere 6.5) and accelerator not working

hello,

We have a six years Veritas NetBackup solution. (about 1.5TB catalog size).

We need to enable accelerator in order to reduce our backup time.

1 - When enabled, we do a backup of a 60GB VM (windows) .

it's take 1:25 hour for the first backup.

But during the second backup it's take the same time.

2 - In job detail, we also see that netbackup is backing up ... files !!! and not working at block level.

is it a lies that netbackup is working in block mode (BLIB) ?

  • in order to sum up the troubleshooting.

    What have been done :

    • Job limit : disable
    • Transport mode : nbd
    • Accelerator : enabled (for sure)
    • In optimization : just the "enable file recovery from VM backup" (optional)
