Hi,
I am getting speeds of around 2000MB/min backing up my Exchange server via the RAW.
I have initiated a couple of test restores today and am trying to restore indivdual emails. I have also tried a full inbox, but I am only getting speeds of 8MB/min which obviously cant be right. Its not a problem for the odd email but in a DR scenario it will not work.
Any ides?
Cheers

Hi,
If you're doing a GRT backup to tape, it needs to stage the entire Information Store to disk first during a restore, before it restores.
You can try getting around this by duplicating your IS to disk first, and then running the restore from there.
THanks!

Sorry, should have mentioned this is a disk backup/restore.
It is immediatley restoring items to the server, just at a ridiculously slow rate

OK cool...is it to the same server? If so, I'd suggest copying a large amount of data from your media server to the Exchange server to test network speeds from that direction...

Is the disk where the backups is taken Fragmented?? If so then you need to De-fragment it as reading is always slow from fragmented disk.
Thanks,

thanks for the replies.
Yes the restore is to the same disk. I have just tested restoring some files form the C drive and speed is perfect, so is only a problem for Exchange data,

...check any AV running on the server and make sure it isn't trying to block BE's services. Otherwise, try disabling the AV and running a restore again...

Hi,
We would require some more information about the problem .
Initially, we require Exchange version. (depending upon the version of exchange we can identify, if it’s a MAPI or EWS (exchange web services.) in play.
Further we would like to know If the exchange is installed in a cluster?
