Backup Duration Question/Concern

[Fratopolis]

So when the veeam agent reads the local C drive it only reads the changes usually around 6-20GB which goes quick shown below

2/4/2018 1:31:22 AM :: SERVEROS 10 (C:) (231.9 GB) 18.5 GB read at 387 MB/s [CBT] 0:00:48

But when it reads the storage drive it reads the entire drive each time causing long backup times shown below.

2/4/2018 1:32:45 AM :: 4x3TB Raid5 (A:) (8.2 TB) 4.5 TB read at 262 MB/s 4:56:35

Am I missing something here?

Hi Mark,

First: Welcome to the forums.

Second: Your drive is in total 8.2TB correct? We read about 4.5 TB. I noticed that CBT is not standing next to that line. Is that correct?

[Fratopolis]

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes it is 8.2 and I figured out the CBT driver after I submitted the post. I just do not know how I will install it as this server is a standalone server. Not on the network.

[Mike Resseler]

Did you install the server edition?

In that case look here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=21

[Fratopolis]

Apparently not. Trying to find the server addition now.

[Mike Resseler]

It is a license. But the server license is not free. I am assuming you are using the free version now?

[Fratopolis]

I have a license. I had it set apparently to workstation, I switched it to Server in the Manage License and Edition under about. But I guess I need a reboot to see the Install CBT option.

[Mike Resseler]

Yes. That is correct.

[Fratopolis]

Yes. That is correct.

Ok, I now see more options in the Configure backup but still no CBT. Hmm, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Weird the system partitions are using the CBT driver though.

[Mike Resseler]

Maybe the two of us are overlooking something really stupid . You can always create a support call to have a look at your situation

[Fratopolis]

I will. I'm sure it's me. But hey you did get me to the correct mode. Maybe ill spin up a vm with sv2016 and see what a fresh install does before I bug support.
