BACKUPCOPY JOB Transformation takes forever

[ober72]

Hi all,

I have a big volume that is fine when backing up offsite, but then get stuck forever doing the backupcopy job transformation. Is this a weekly occurence like with local jobs? Are there any parameters that I might have missed to speed this up?

Also, I have read here that windows dedupe on the offsite repository might be an issue.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, Geoff. Backup Copy job transformation is daily, and its performance is dependent solely on the backup storage performance. Thanks!

Target storage being the backup copy job bottleneck is expected for dedupe storage. Backup copy job is a synthetic activity and requires lots of I/O.
