Taking backup of Servers on remote location

[Delvin_Paul]

Hi,

We are using Backup exec 10.0.5520 in Windows 2000 Server systems.
My problem is we have 2 servers which are part of our domain forest(in a different trusted domain than our backup exec media server) but located in a different State( about 300 miles apart). We are using a VPN connection with T1 lines for the network with firewalls installed on both ends with tripple DES encryption. I already tried to take the backup to diskfolder of those 2 servers(114 Gb and 68Gb) from our current media server and pushing the remote agents to them.But the process is very slow, about 7Mb/min and during verification stage the backup fails.Our network system is running fine.

Is there any suggestions for taking the backup in this scenario?

T1 is only rated at 1.5Mb/sec, so you are trying to push a bowling ball through a garden hose.

Not much you can do except to

1) Increase the bandwidth
2) Install BackupExec at the remote site and do local backups there.

(You might get a little improvement by not using AutoNegotiate, but hard setting all NICs and switch ports, but you still will be facing a bandwidth problem.)Message was edited by:
