SQL backup speed enhancement
Good day, We have a 5430 flex appliance 3.1 and running NBU 10.1.1 with a 3 media server setup. We recently migrated a windows SQL server to a remote site where we currently don't have backup infra...

Thanks so much Nicolai,
That makes sense. I know that we use port 1556 for inbound connections via the any local interface. silly question. Is it possible to randomise ports to achieve this. The thinking is that this will be seen as a new backup stream to achieve better throughput.
Multiple backup stream always improve backup speed until the underlying infrastructure is 100% utilized.
Randomising backup port is not possible nor will it improve backup speed. Multiple backup stream is the way to go, or used client side deduplication, to lower overall bandwidth consumption.
If the SQL server is on physical hardware, check "interrupt moderation" on the NIC is not set to aggressive. Usually the default value limit network bandwidth quite a lot.
