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. Ray

35 GB Full backup and 200 GB Incrementals
Hi Everyone I have a group of Vmware VMs in our VCSA 6.5, which are applications servers, running Wonderware software on windows server 2016. I backed them up in 2 groups (5 VMs in each). Weekly Full backup and Daily Incremental. Both the daily and the incrementals are configured in the same backup job. All the application servers have 200 GB thin provisioned Harddrives. 6 of the servers, split between the 2 groups are backing up just fine. 35-ish GB Full backups and 1-4 GB incrementals. However, the remaining 4, also split across the 2 groups have huge incremental backups. Full 35GB and Incremental 200 GB. (Which is 100% of their harddrives) All 10 application servers have the same backup settings as they are grouped together. (2 groups of 5) Here are the different backup settings. * Backed up to a storage device pool with 2 Disk storages (Not dedup) * No compression or encryption * Verify at end of job * Instant GRT enbaled * Use snapshot technology is enabled * Automatic - Allow VSS to select snapshot provider * Process logical volumes for backup one at a time * Use Backup exec GRT is enabled * Backup using VSS is enabled *Transport mode: SAN > Hotadd > NBD > NBDSSL I hope someone is able to help me find a sollution to this. Best Regards Brian

Hello everybody! I need to know about jobs. I have a costumer wich use Backup Exec 2012 (v14 rev1794), and i have differents issues with the incremental job, like -528 file log missing, timestamp mismatch and so on. The full backup completes successfully. So, is necessary to keep trying to solve the incremental job? Thanks!
