Very slow backup - 2 sites

[andreas2012]

Hi,

We have two site
Site A - Veeam backup server
Site A - Veeam repository1 (physical server with much disk)
Site A - Veeam repository2 (physical server with much disk)
Site B - Veeam repository3 (physical server with much disk) works also as a Backup-Copy-Job repository for Site A backups


When we do backups in Site A and save these to repository1 or repository2 its all good. These jobs are also connected to a backup-copy-job and has repository3, which is also good.

Now the challenge is that we have deployed physical servers in Site B, and we create a backup job for these with using repository3 as destination it goes VERY slow. So to me it seems like the backup sends the data like this... From Site B -> Site A -> Site B. What we would like offcourse is just transfer the data locally Site B (machines) -> Site B (repository3).

Is there any network/application settings we need to configure within Veeam or Windows ? Or do I need to talk to the network guys.

Hope you understood my question

Thanks for any reply.

Hi Andreas,

What are your bottleneck stats?

Please, note that in your scenario the data goes straight from the agent machine to the backup repository and does not pass through the backup server.

Hi,

Thanks for fast reply.

Load: Source 0% > Proxy 0% > Network 99% > Target 16%
system (C:) (445.4 GB) 36.7 GB read at 1 MB/s 07:47:21

It should I guess, but to me it seems it does not since the latency is on the network.

Thanks

It cannot go the other way around as data movers responsible for transmitting the data reside on the physical machine and on the target repository. I would recommend running a few network tests from the machine to the repo and vice-versa. It looks like a network issue.

Hi,

Did a file copy with eexplorer, and you are right, these are very slow here also, so I will talk to the network guys.
Thanks.
