Sql backup performance after upgrade

Good day, we have seen a huge drop in our sql backup speeds after upgrade from 8.3.0.1 to 10.1.1

Any tips on this issue will be much appreciated.

  • Some additional info. We are running on a Flex running version 3.1. From what I can see it only seems to have affected the speed of the SQL backups. VM backups are running fine.

      Flex or FlexScale? We have a situation that is eerily similar.

      FlexScale 3.1, Netbackup 10.1.1. All our SQL backups run horrifically slow. So far, nothing Support (BCS) has done has made any improvements at all. Backing up to my old OST storage, a 10TB backup takes 2 hours, 4 streams. With the FlexScale, it runs anywhere from 10 to 25 hours. 

      Our HANA, DB2, Informix and Oracle DBS are run as expected, sometimes even better.

      Open a case to support.
      One of my customers had the same problem with sql backups after upgrading to 10.0.0.1. They found a problem in deduplication code.

      Try to find evidence of the speed before the upgrade and run some backups to a non desuplicated device.

        How was it resolved? Can I private message you for the case number so I can hand it over to my BCS?

  • When a SQL backup starts, is the performance as expected and then it just plummets? 

    I have a client (10.0.0.1) that will start off going at 9.5Gbps, and then just plummets
