I need to optimize the duration of a backup.
The VM is a replica. Size: 8 TB.
It's located on a NFS (Synology NAS) datastore and the target storage is an iSCSI storage array
The actual processing rate is around 90 MB/s.
Any advice regarding the settings of the job so the backup doesn't last more than 30 hours ?
I know I can't expect a miracle with such a configuration but right now, backing up this machine isn't something viable...
Thanks !
Hello Eric,
Backup performance analysis is usually started from the bottleneck statistics. Could you provide the job`s statistics(Source/Proxy/Network/Target)?
What transport mode and backup method are in use?
Thanks!
Ah.. so this is still the same 8TB replica VM... Since you decided to backup the entire VM backup to tape, is there a chance you could use local backup of this VM at the client`s site as a source for the backup copy job to your site? It will be incremental and probably complete faster then backup the replica.
