Very Slow Backup

[create_share]

Hi!

We have Backup Exec 2014 installed on Windows 2012. Exchange 2013 backup is very slow. The disk configured for backup is 4 TB. Can the size of the disk be the cause of slow backup?

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

...the size of the disk is 4T, or you've allocated a 4TB file size to the B2D? In which case all your eggs are in 1 basket and if that file corrupts you lose your entire backup.

Check that any AV installed on the media server isn't scanning the B2D folder, and if so, put in an exclusion for it.

Also make sure that any AV installed isn't perhaps actively scanning the BE services.

Thanks!

you must find the bottleneck , please answer this questions  :

• What kind of disk you are using  SAS - SATA? 
• What Type of Storage you are using? ( Disk Storage - Deduplication Disk)
• How much data you have on Exchange server?
• What is youre network connection speed between Backup Exec and Exchange Server?
• How Many Backup Jobs are running simultaneously on youre Backup Exec Server?
