Fileshare Copy

Post by MCH_helferlein »

Dear Veeamers.

I have a 7,6TB Fileshare that took around three days for the first fullbackup.
Now it's between 45-75 minutes on an hourly schedule.

Additionally I try to do a secondary copy of this share to a remote location. This job did run now already really many times and copied a lot of data already, but still not everything due to it's getting always stopped by the main backup job every while.
But I really cannot afford to pause the main backupjob perhaps for a week or two just that this first fullbackup restorepoint gets copied to the remote repository.

That's why I am just hoping that the logic of the backup job is so that it will continue to copy missing things and not really start by zero over and over again.
Anyone can please confirm if my thinking is correct?

Hi Peter, yes your thinking is correct. Eventually it should catch up. Thanks!

Dear Gostev.

Thanks for your reply.
But 'eventually... Should' does not really sound trustfully...

But as I know how great your products always are I even trust in those words... 😊

Even more because they come from you Anton 😊.

Thanks
Peter

I used "should" because in the end, it depends solely on your available bandwidth and your data change rate, which I have no knowledge of. As obviously, we can't beat the physics: if more files gets changed daily than your available bandwidth allows to move in 24 hours, then the secondary copy will never catch up.
