Bottleneck Source

[TXGreg]

I'm new to Veeam and having and issue with the processing rate on my backups. I've read through the FAQs. My enviroment is Veeam 7, Vsphere 5.1 with 4 host, a Fujitsu Eternus 2000 SAN, backing up to an EMC DataDomain. I'm using the Windows iscsi software initiator with a dedicated NIC to the SAN network, I have the backup proxy set to Direct San access and have tried both manualy and automatic detection for the datastores. The primary bottleneck is the source so I'm wondering if there is something I still need to configure on the Fujitsu SAN although I've been through that and everything appears to be fine. The proxy server is running on physical server, CPU is not an issue.

The processing rate I typically get is between 15 and 25mb/s

Hi Greg,

Do you see these rates for full job runs or incremental passes? Do you have any MPIO software configured on your backup server? BTW, have you tried running virtual proxy servers with hotadd mode configured?

Thanks!

That's the one thing I have not tried. I will give it a go today.

Those rates are for the incremental runs.

Those rates are for the incremental runs.

Do you see a CBT tag next to virtual disk names in the backup job session?
