Enumerating directories - toooo long

Post by jrousset »

Hello Veeam users,
I have an issue with a Laptop Backup, using Veeam Agent for Windows and Veeam Backup and Replication.
When outside the company, using VPN, the backup takes too long time to achieve:
the "enumerating directories" part takes 1h30 (yes, one hour and a half)
Then, a few minutes are used to transfer the 77MB differential files.
How to reduce this time?
Thank you

Hello Jerome,

What backup mode are you using? Have you considered setting up a local repository on-site and using the backup copy from such repository to the main site? Thanks.

Hello Dima,
on the laptop side, I am using File level backup, because user need to choose what folders to backup. It is then sent to Veeam backup Repository on the server.
On the server side, repository is a iSCSI disk. Backup is then copied to Cloud Connect.
thanks

File level backup is expected to be slower than image level backup (entire computer or volume level backup modes). Try to disable backup throttling via Control Panel > Settings and let me know how it goes. Thanks.
