[SOLARIS] Listing files in restore points takes a very long time

Post by VAB »

Hello all!


I am testing restore points. Listing files in a restore point takes a very long time:

Code: Select all

# veeamconfig point list --backupId a4140a9d-1adc-496f-a85c-c0d2815f32e4
Job name        OIB ID                                  Type       Created at        Is corrupt  Retention  
test_pg_dumper  {34288a4a-31e0-42d2-a680-4af97ce65c85}  Full       2025-01-14 12:40  false                  
test_pg_dumper  {127a3f7c-20f9-40f4-a98a-204aa2198ea4}  Increment  2025-01-14 12:41  false                  
...
test_pg_dumper  {a9482e19-33c0-4529-9bee-e692aaeb6af4}  Increment  2025-01-14 13:13  false                  

# time veeamconfig point files --id a9482e19-33c0-4529-9bee-e692aaeb6af4
/pgsql_data/dump/test_20250114.errout
/pgsql_data/dump/test_20250114.pgdump
1.760u 0.120s 3:55.05 0.7%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
This took almost four minutes. All the other various "list" and "show" subcommands return reasonably fast.
Is that expected?


Thanks,

Hello,

Yes, that's expected. "list" and "show" commands pull data from the Veeam database, while "files" scans the backup for content, which can take longer.
If it’s slowing down your terminal, you can use "nohup" and "&" to run it in the background.

Could you let me know how many total files are in the restore point and where the repository is located?

Hi Rovshan!


There were a total of two files in that particular restore point. Today I created a total of seven points with 2-5 files each. Doing seven "point files" back to back took 27 minutes.
IIRC, the repository is located on a Windows-based vbrserver with 10G connectivity and a storage backend attached via SAN. If you need more details about the server, I can ask our service provider for info.

Thanks for the backgrounding hint; however, I am writing scripts that parse "point files" output.


Thanks,
VAB

Hello,

I will need you to open a support case and share the case number with us here.
We need the case number so that logs can be uploaded and reviewed.

And an addendum: It seems that only the root user can execute "veeamconfig point files". Any other user gets "permission denied", even if that user is in group "veeam". Is that intentional?

Hi,

Yes, this is by design.
