Sharepoint restore performance

Hi, We have some SP2013 and SP2010 farms over here and there's something I would like to check with you guys who have Sharepoint backed up in your Netbackup infrastructure.

Our main SP2013 site has 3 main folders as follow:

Folder ABC: ~40.000 items
Folder XYZ: ~241.000 items
Folder DEF: ~60.000 items

I'm restoring one file inside a subfolder of the folder DEF (that has ~60k items). It's taking 4h to restore just few files with not more than 1Mb.

The SP2013 farm consists in:

2 Sharepoint server (let's name them SP-A and SP-B) and their database is located in a instance named SQLAX which run in one node of our SQL Failover Cluster (Let's name them SQL-A and SQL-B). This instance is running at SQL-A node.

In the other hand we restored from our SP2010 farm a XLSX worksheet with it's 30 versions and it has been restored in 1h55min.

Our SP2010 farm consists in: 1 Sharepoint server (let's name it SP2010) and it's database is located in a instance named MSSQL which run in on node of our SQL Failover Cluster. This instance is runing in the SQL-B node.

The SP2010 has lots of folders with the total of 549.885 documents. The XLSX I restored was in a folder, alone. Why does it need to spend such long time to restore? How it works? Which are your times to restore Sharepoint objects?

    Are you using GRT (granular restore) for the file-level recovery?

    Netbackup version?

    What kind of storage (disk or tape) are you backing up to?

    Is it just the restore of Sharepoint data having this issue, what about other type of data?

      Yes, I'm trying to restore using GRT. NB 8.0

      All images are backed up to a Dell DR4100 (OST) disk appliance. No tape for now (the SLP is configured to duplicate but few months from now).

      All other restores are pretty quick. Filesystem, VMware (even GRT inside VM's), Exchange, SQL. Everything is fine. Only Sharepoint takes ages.

        Can you share the restore job detailed status?

    "I think", this may not be related to Netbackup. When the restore is being done the Sharepoint is working on creating those thousands for records that you are restoring and that's actually taking the time.
