Hi
I hope someone can answer this perculiar problem??
Our current setup is as follows:
Veritas 9.1 fully updated, connected directly to a LTO4 HP 960 tape drive. 90% of the files are connected to the server via an HBA to an HP MSA1000 SAN.
The first test backup we preformed was backing up around 1.5gb/min, this was accessing files on the SAN. We are backing up around 480gb per day and normally this takes around 11 hours but for some reason i occassionally will come in and the backup is still running and has to be cancelled due to slowness on the file server. There is no-one working on site after 7 at night and that is when i start the backup
Is there any checks i can preform or any changes i can make to speed up the backup?
Thanks
