Virtual Machine Backups Suddenly Got Slow
Hello, In December, our backups of VMWare full virtual machines suddenly slowed way down. At that time a staff admin recreated datastores and bumped the VMFS version from 5 to 6. There were no other changes that I'm aware of. Agent based backups run fine. Only Virtual machine backups run poorly now. It doesn't matter whether I backup to disk or tape, they never achieve a rate above 300 MB/min. Ideas on where the bottleneck is? Something is limiting the communication from Backup Exec to vCenter. I have a case open with support, but they are not figuring it out. I run BE 21.4 on a physical Windows 2016 server. Backup targets are NAS appliances and direct attached SAS tape drives. The server has teamed NIC that connect to three VLAN's: data to servers, second to NAS appliances, and third to underlying SAN appliances that host our VMWare environment. Our VMWare is old: 6.5. Thanks for your help. Ray759Views0likes1Comment0xe0009582-Cannot get the disk changed information
Hello, I'm running BUE 16 and attempting to back up a Server 2016 VM (vSphere 6.0 U3) and it always fails with0xe0009582-Cannot get the disk changed information. I have two other 2016 VMs that are backing up fine. The only difference with this one is that it has an independent disk attached, which, if memory servers are automatically excluded during backup. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the agent, insured the VSS provider is not installed in VMware tools, and tried several jobs with instant GRT, VM GRT, and Advanced Open File option enabled and disabled. Nothing has worked so far. Any ideas?2.8KViews0likes1Comment
