Backup Job Running Slowly

[287619291]

We recently moved our backup changer to our file server in hopes that would increase the speed of the backups. Unfortunately, the backup speed has significantly decreased from when we backed up the data from another server, whereas the remote backups are running at an increased speed.

Any ideas why the file server backup is running so slowly now that we have installed the tape changer/veritas onto it?

Thanks.

Please ensure the following:
1. Verify whether the Anti Virus software is running on the machine of which you are taking backup. In case it is running, please disable it and then perform a back up.
2. Verify the network traffic between the media server and the machine whose backup is taken. Also check the network card of the media server.
3. In addition to the above steps please also check the technote given below:

4. Also follow the technote below:
Reasons why the data throughput rate can be slower than the theoretical maximum when backing up to tape media.

Please make sure that the tape drive is not connected to a RAID controller. It is always recommended to connect the Autoloader / tape drive to a separate SCSI controller.
You may refer to following technote:
