Netbackup KB/Sec:
Using WIndows 2K3 E Server, HP MSL6k TLD, with NBU 6.5 and my backups are writting at the bit at an average of KB/Sec: 6851. The job is only 228G of data on a LTO4 1.6TB compressed drive?
- That is something I am happy with.
I have to remember - that I send more then one stream to a tape drive.
so job 1 goes to drive - then it gathers more info
job 2 goes to drive - then it gathers more info
job 3 goes to drive - then it gathers more info
jobs 4 goes to drive - the it gathers more info
jobs 1 goes to drive again
So my tape drives is getting great usage, but the jobs may have a little delay while they wait their turn to go to the drive. This results in slower speed.
If you really want to test. send one job to a tape drive and see if you get better speed.
If any one big job ( meaning more then just a few meg for a job) is below 1000 I start to worry and look look into issues.
Some jobs get 32000 kbps some get 6000 kbps - based on network card on server and size of server and how many jobs are using the tape.
Watch your jobs and learn what your standard seems to be, then watch for changes. You can try to inprove with tuning.
