B&R 7 - completion times

[Yuki]

This is something i've noticed with V7:

previous night replication run over 100mbit link:
Duration: 6 hours 35min
Processing rate:19MB/s
Processed: 4TB
Read: 147GB
Transferred: 75GB

this night replication run (not completed yet):
Duration: 12 hours 20 min
Processing rate:18MB/s
Processed:3.3TB
Read: 150GB
Transferred: 78GB


Why given same processing rate, same size of data moved off-site it runs twice as slow?

System is not under any kind of unusual load and in both cases network is the bottleneck, with the link being used ONLY for B&R traffic (this is a dedicated L2 link).

Please take a closer look to a job and VM sessions. What exact steps take more time today, than yesterday?
Since processing rate is almost the same, seems that delay is related to some preparation activity (VSS, Indexing, creating snapshot or something else).

Hi,

Good point - the issue was a delay in resource allocation due to this VM being locked by another job and has nothing to do with V7 or any Veeam issue. Something so obvious that i've missed it completely.

Thanks!
