Remote Backup by Agent BE 15

Tekno
Not applicable

Dear all,
I installed BE 15 Server in Head Office and the agent in a Branch Office.
I have a problem with remote backup. The transfer data from remote server to nas in same local network is very slow.
Usually 3 or 5 MB/s regarding system state and local files documents.

Have you any suggestions ?

Thank you.

Peter

You are better off if your NAS is in the HQ. This way your data only flow across the link once. If optimised duplication is too expensive to set up, you might want to try client-side dedup. This way you only need to have dedup at the HQ and there is no need for a media server at the remote end. Of course, the recommended setup for your situation is optimised duplication

If the NAS is in the remote office as well, then your data flow is as follows:

BE initiates backup - Data flows across the WAN via the media server to the NAS at the remote office

Your data is doing a round-trip causing a slowness if this is the case.

Best bet then is to look at doing optimized duplication with deduplication. Read below for more, but you'd then install a full version of BE on the remote server with the dedupe option licensed. Backups would be done locally on that side to the NAS, and then duplicated across the WAN to the head office backup device. This would also be a dedupe device but you could then duplicate to tape if needed for instance once the data has been duplicated to the head office.
