Hi Guys
I have a customers server running Backup Exec 10.1 rev 5629
They have had a faulkt with the tape drive so I have set up backup to disk to backup to an external usb drive
The backup seems to work but compared to other customers with a similar setup it is verry slow and during the job the status constantly changes between running and loading media.
I did find a post somewhere that suggested defragging the backup drive but as the drive is brand new and has just been reformatted with NTFS i dont see this being the issue
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Grant

What are the settings you chosen for B2D folder?
Max size for backup-to-disk file:
And how much is your backup data?

Max file size is 2GB
Max sets per file is 100
disk space reserve is set to 0
and auto detect is ticked
a complete backup is around 185GB
Also its set up as a backup to disk device rather than a backup to disk folder

Try to increase the max file size. According to the settings mentioned by you, 93 bkf files has to be created to complete the backup. That may be the reason BE is going into loading media status many times. You can set the value to ~65GB and see if that helps.
