How long should a 35GB file take to restore?

[Matthew_Mead]

I have never restored a file that is 35GB before and the restore job has taken about 23 hours so far and is only at 20%. This seems long to me.

We have Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Servers Version 9.1 Rev 4691 with Dell PowerVault 132T SDLT Library.

Any suggestions or reasons why would be helpful.

Thanks
Matt

Hello,

Was the backup job successful? How long had it run? Is it a local restore or a redirected restore? Do you get any errors related to Backup exec in the event logs? 23 hrs does seem to long. Had you verified the backup job? Also check if the device has any errors.

Sorry, that I did not respond back right away. The user decided that he did not need the file ASAP, so I am just checking back today to see if anyone replied.

I canceled the backup job because it was running to long and I needed to have other jobs running the next day. It ran for about 25 hours before I canceled the job. It was a redirected restore to a location on our network. I did not see any errors beside the job failing due to me canceling it. I will go and check to see if the device had errors as well.

Thanks
