Horrible speeds backing up AIX server

[Kane]

Good morning, I'm hoping someone can help out. I'm running BE 11d/12 (licensed as 11d). I have an AIX server that has the version 12 agent on it (it was also doing the same thing with agent 11 and BE 11d)

Whats happening is that I'm getting extremely slow through put on the AIX box.  any other host runs at about 300 - 500MB/min  but the AIX box drops down to 30MB/min or less. If I run a backup only of the AIX box it starts @ 1MB/min and slowly climbs to about 30MB/min.

It's taking about 20 hours to backup 20GB from the AIX server.

We have tried the following suggetions with no significant gains in speed:

Can anyone please help me out with this? I'm not an AIX guy, so all suggestions will be passed along to the fellow who does the AIX support...

Thanks in advance

We are having exactly the same issue. The old Legacy Agent seems to backup far quicker, however we have had issues with the "Segmentation Fault" when performing redirected restores using this agent. I raised a call with Symantec, they had me recreate the selection list and backup jobs without any difference.

I need to get back to them on this issue so will post here if I get a fix.
