Merge process takes too long on Incrementals

Post by andresbarcenas »

Hello,

I am running the latest version of Veeam 8 U3 and I am having a lot of problem with the backup jobs when the retention period is hit. The Actual Merge process takes several hours some times I lose a whole day a backups because the merge process. I have all my REPOs attached using CIFS from a NetApp DS2240 (2-node cluster) with 1xDS4240 shelf with 24 SATA disks. Is anyone here experiencing very slow merges?

I need some help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please describe you setup:

- backup policy: forward or reverse incremental?
- backup size (both full and increment)
- backup session log

Thank you.

It turns out after a year of perfectly fine backups my upgrade to 8.0 update 3 decided to choose a proxy server across the WAN to process all my local VMs. This was my fault because I hadn't picked a Gateway Server for my CIFS shares. http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/80/v ... erver.html

After stopping all the Merges with a reboot I assigned Gateway servers and the merges happened in a heart beat.
