NIC Teaming Slow Throughput, any ideas?
Hey guys, We currently have 2Gig set up through NIC teaming for our backup exec setup.When we have backups running, it barely reaches 35-40% of the bandwith. I am using Backup Exec 2010. Has anyone else here set up NIC teaming before? What are some things that might cause slow performance? Are there any specific settings in Backup Exec that may help? Thanks!5.1KViews3likes9CommentsVolume Pool Categorization
We do have L-700, (Storage Tek) with 9 drives, now we want to upgrade four Lto-2 drives in place of Lto-1, because of some Heavy Backup and rest (Remaining 5 Drives) of them will be remain same (Lto-1). Now how would I able to categorized/configured the respected “Volume Pool of Heavy Backup” with the four new replaced Lto-2 Drives ? NetBackup 5.1.

EDIT: I called Symantec support and they tracked it down to Symantec Hotfix354913. In Windows Server 2008 R2 you'll need to go to Programs and Features under Control Panel, click on "view installed updates" then go down to the Symantec section. Locate Hotfix354913. This will stop your BUE services, remove the hotfix and then start up your services again. Then open up BUE, go to devices, right click on your server name and select pause again. This time I did not get any errors, it just paused it. I then right click on my server name and unpaused it. Then I went back into BEUtility and refreshed the view and confirmed that the server status had changed from "server paused" to "running". We then ran a export, import and quick erase, all task that were not working with this issue that were once again functioning as desired. ***************************************************************************** Out of the blue yesterday it started that my Backup Exec 2010 with all the latest updates running on a Server 2008 R2 Standard OS just stopped allowing me to import, export or erase tapes. Scheduled jobs seems to run without issue but without being able to import, export or erase tapes, I'll be out of available tapes soon. If i remove my tape library from my backup server and manually do a import or export, it works, but if I have the tape library connected via it's SAS cables, it tells me that it cannot complete the task as there is a lock on it from another source. The robot is a Dell ML6000. I spent 3 hours with Dell support today and have pretty well concluded that the issue is not the robot. He suggested checking to see if the server status was paused under the devices tab and it does not show that it is. If I launch BEUtility it does show "server paused" under status though. As a number of post out there suggest, I right clicked on the server name under devices and click on "pause" and it comes back with a message stating "Unable to pause servername" when I click on "OK" though it shows the status of the server as paused. Then if I go and right click again to unpause it, it pops up a error stating "Unable to resume servername" and again if I click on "OK" it does actually change the displayed status as unpaused but any jobs that were in a hung state still don't run anyway. I've rebooted the server numerous times and verified all the services are started. As I started off with, this server was working perfectly for a few months as is and nothing was changed or done that provoked this to my knowledge. I'm at a total loss. Is there any other way to try and force this server to unpause?1.7KViews3likes7CommentsIs there a defined WAN bandwidth requirement between a Windows Master server & a Windows media server ?
This is a one of the strange queries to come up with. But a question always remain a questions unless a solution is found. The master server and media servers are both on Windows 2008R2. Now, they are geographically distant. So, its obvious that these two are communicating via WAN. Let us consider a client with 2TB of data to be backed up to a Tape Library attached to the Media server(Above). Typically in a backup process flow, bprd, bpdbm, nbjm, EMM (mds/da/nbemm) are involved in master server side , and mainly bpbrm,bptm on the media server side. As the backup starts, Master server would only communicate with media server about the media details/resource details and then media server would handle the data coming from the client. I am sure this is the way. Is there a defined WAN bandwidth requirement between a Windows Master server & a Windows media server ? Well I think 1Megbyte / 2Megabyte WAN connection would still be hold good for the basic comm's between master & media server. Is there a documentation on this please, that anyone of us knowSolved1.3KViews2likes6Commentsbackup Performence

I have a Sun/Oracle SL24 autoloader It has 1 tape drive we use for duplication of our backups As we grow - the duplication of our backups is taking longer and longer. We are considering purchasing a 2nd tape drive for our autoloader, but we don't know if BE 2010 r3 will alternate which drives are being used, or if it has the capability of performing DUAL backups (2 tape drive jobs at once) assuming that they would be put into a "pool".

Some other questions have touched on this topic but they all seem to be just a little different than my scenario. The issue I seem to be having is the following. I have a single Windows Server 2008 R2 server with Backup Exec 2014. I am not using CASO with a MMS. I run incrementals throughout the week and then a full backup to our dedupe storage on a SAN. I then run a duplicate of the previous Full backup job (not using scheduled option for duplicate job) to duplicate to tape for off-site storage. The intention is to retain two weeks of data on-site and more off-site. However, I see instances where, if the duplicate to tape job failes, the previous Full backup is no longer on the dedupe storage. This means we have to do the entire full backup over again and then duplicate to tape. In addition, this concerns me because I wonder if all the other jobs we write to tape in this manner are also getting removed from dedupe storage after the job either completes successfully or fails. It concerns me because we want to retain some of those on-site. Is this by design? Is there a way around this?1.2KViews1like8Comments
