Enterprise Vault Backup takes a LONG time using Backup Exec 12.
Hello all, We are using EV Vault 7.5 and backing it up using Backup Exec 12 with the EV agent. Backup Exec is on the same server as the Vault DBs,but we have a separate SQL server. My problem is that the Vault backup takes a long time, specifically 13 hours for about 550GB. Within the EV agent almost everything backs up in a timely manner except "EV-PTN::\\%servername%\MailStore01\MailStore01 Ptn1@E:", which is the actual Vault DB. It backs up at around 700-750MB/min. We are backing up to a TL2000 with LTO-4 drive which can theoretically backup at a rate of 400GB/hr. When I backup a a flat file to this drive using Backup exec, it backs up at 4.5GB/min. Even other Vault data sets backup in a more timely manner, 2-3GB/min. I think it is just the actual Vault DB that is the one going to slow. I also tried backing up the DB to a disk on the server and the backup rate was the same, around 700MB/min. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? What could be causing the Vault DB to "throttle" or limit the backup to this speed? David
Enterprise Vault Help Needed
I am very new to the Enterprise realm, so I might have some sill questions. Here is the problem. Have Enterprise vault that the services keep stopping because the drive its on is full. (under 6GB vault services stop) So my task is to clean up the vault. It appears the vault size currently is around 550GB. Looking at the mailboxes, it don't seem possible. So I have seen some Exchange Journals that are really large in size, However, there isnt a way to export them that I can find like a mailbox. Any ideas? Next, there are some mailboxes that I can see that I want to export then remove, BUT the services stop before I can accomplish this, thus the export fails. How can I keep the services on long enough for an export? I also believe there is a TON of archiving waiting to be done, as the other day I cleaned up some and had almost 10gb free, then it just filled right back up so far, that now its stuck here, where I can't do anything. I found a way to turn off the monitoring so the services might run for awhile, BUT if I do that and it totally fills the drive, I am up the creek. If I can remove some of the journals(110GB and 70GB in size) this will help a lot. If I do remove or move them, how can I get them back incase I ever need to? Thank!!
