Hyper-V backup agent speed

Post by edgarstt »

Hello,

How many threads or multiple backup/copy instances per Agent does Veeam run in Hyper-v environment in (CSV)?

Meaning can I tell the agent to copy on separate "instances"/"threads" different .vhdx files at the same time?

We have Veeam Trial and are running 1x4GBe (SMB Multichannel + RSS) internet-facing connection to backup site, but we get ~200-300Mbit/s per each link.

If we manually start 2-3 separate file copy operations then 4x links are fully saturated from same to same destination.

CSV is SSD SAS3 RAID10 reaching 2GB/s easy locally.

Hi Edo,

Please review this page on our help center to get more details regarding concurrent tasks. One task slot is used to process one disk, for example 2 disks will be processed simultaneously if the number of concurrent tasks is set to 2. I think you should adjust number of concurrent tasks according to available resources on Hyper-V host/off-host proxy and backup repository.

Thanks!
