Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
Hi Guys
We have several physical veeam backup servers.
All of them work actually fine but "the biggest" (backs up ~140 VMs).
Everything works fine and is fast but as soon as the "Backups" section on the left is selected, the veeam console literally dies away... (meaning it gets ultra slow. expanding a backup job to see the vms takes minutes(if it works at all)
I cant get rid of old backup points of deleted vms so they get dragged along leading to increased space consumption of the backups..
Is there maybe some maintenance task I can run against the DB or something to speed it up again?
Kind Regards
Felix

Yes, please, though I'm pretty sure that your issue will be fixed after the upgrade, see the Release Notes.

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
I'm pretty sure you won't have the problem with 5.0.2.230 as I had the same issue (taking as much as 60 seconds for every click in this window). Unfortunately, there's appears to be a new behavior in the same screen that causes deadlocks when attempting to remove backups using the "Remove from backups" option. I've tried to work with Veeam support on the issue since it's 100% reproducible for me, but so far that's been a typical, modern-day support experience (i.e. "not good"). It appears that this screen is always "auto refreshing" and if you happen to be deleting a job that takes longer than the "refresh" then you get a deadlock. Perhaps something weird in my environment but the support tech said that they've had other reports of this issue and the "proper" method is to just keep choosing the option over and over until all the backups are finally removed.

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
update:
i just wanted to write: "no deadlocks, works fine..."
but exactly at this point i got a EM:
======================
failed to execute stored procedure, Name: [[Backup.Model.DeleteOIB]], Params: [@id = 48422f62-0946-4909-aee0-365e1ec50f28].
Transaction (Process ID 55) was deadlocked on lock | generic waitable object resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
======================
my experience:
I OK the message.
i select the machine again, selection disappears(seems to be some kind of refresh, as stated before)
i select the machine once more and remove it without a problem...
so there is still a bug/issue...

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
BTW, my ticket number is 5132925, opened May 23rd. Here is the initial response from support:
Which seems pretty bogus. Of course the SQL server is the source of the message, but the deadlock itself is caused by some SQL Veeam is running. I've attempted to explain this to the support people but didn't get very far. This issue is 100% reproducible on my Veeam servers, although it does require a delete that takes longer than a screen refresh, so basically a job that includes a lot of rollbacks or a lot of VM's (or both).The deadlock errors are coming from your SQL server not from Veeam. we have seen this a few times and so far what you are doing is the only solution.

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
I have the same issue when I try to remove an old Backup job which from my Veeam Backup & Recovery servers. We're running 5.0.2.230 x64 with a local SQL server. After ten times or so, I am finally able to remove the old job. Hope this issue can be fixed in the next release.tsightler wrote:I'm pretty sure you won't have the problem with 5.0.2.230 as I had the same issue (taking as much as 60 seconds for every click in this window).

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
Vitally, he's having the issue with remove jobs and support has verified that they've seen this issue multiple times. I've reproduced the issue on a remote session with support and they gathered a SQL trace and I'm currently awaiting a fix. I have come to believe that this may only impact jobs with forward incrementals, at least that what I'm seeing in my testing.

same problem over here. If you try to delete the job over and over again eventually you will succeed.

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
I just tried to import a backup and received the deadlock error. Does the hotfix that you mentioned address this as well or only when deleting backups (which I also have)?

+1 "me too" on SQL stored procedure deadlocks while removing backups. I just deleted a set of imported backups and it took 10-15 tries to completely remove the set. My backups are all forward incrementals as well.

Re: Extremly slow navigation in the "Backups" section
I got the hotfix from support, but when I applied it, VeeamShell would crash every time I tried to open the program. I have a ticket open with Support and am trying to schedule a WebEx with them for Monday.
