first time backup of DC extremely slow

Post by april14507 »

Our first time backup of DC with only 125GB runs extremely slow. For 9 hours, it only completed 2%. Well it is backing up to the cloud. Is that normal? :(

Do I need to check the option of application-aware for only backing up domain controller?

Please advise!

Hello Li.

No specific options required. Can you please elaborate what backup mode you are using (I assume it's the entire computer backup) and what is the backup destination? Thank you in advance.

yes, it is an entire domain controller backup. The destination is the cloud.

Thank you!!!

Is it the only one server that you have low performance issues with? Also can you clarify what is the designation target, I guess you meant to say cloud repository of the VCSP?

That is the first server I set up to back up. The cloud name is green cloud.

What is your internet bandwidth ? you are surely limited by your upload speed.

the upload speed is 1.93 mbps after I did the speed test on the server. The veeam backup agent is running at 2 MB/s.
What shall I do to improve the situation?
Any advice?

1.93 mbps is approximately 0.25 megabytes per second, so to improve the performance you need to upgrade the bandwidth or consider "backup seeding" as an option to transfer the 1st full backup quicker.
