Hi all,
I am trying to speed up my full backup to tape job and look for a better solution than what we currently have.
We have a large set of data (30TB) split over multiple servers on the local network. These backup to tape jobs are taking 2 weeks to finish, meaning the data is effectively 2 weeks out of date each time.
When backing up data saved locally to tape, the speeds are much faster. I have thought of doing a backup to the local disk first then duplicate to tape but then wouldn't I have the same problem of waiting 2 weeks for all the data to be copied to the local server first over the network?
Or should I try using DFS to mirror the data to the local Backup exec server first, then run a backup?
