Veeam Backup Speeds

[ratmo]

I would like to know what are the expected backups speeds one should expect on Full vs Incremental.
Currently my full run around 140MB or faster and my Incremental run about 25Mb
Should I Be expecting more on my Incremental?

Hello Ryan,

Could you, please, elaborate on your backup infrastructure configuration: is Veeam B&R physical server or VM, what type storage you are using, and how they are both connected? Additionally, I wonder what shows the bottleneck analysis for both cases. Thank you.

[ratmo]

Veeam is running on a physical server 2 CPU 4 core Xoen 32Gb Ram when backups run there is very little performance hit on the server. Storage that vmware is running on is equallogic's I have it running with direct SAN access.
The Veeam Server has 2x 10Gbic nics connecting to the storage with Jumbo frames setup.

Oh and thanks for any assistance you can give

Ryan, are you sure you're posting the correct stats? The numbers are entirely equal, including dates...

Hello Ryan,

Currently my full run around 140MB or faster and my Incremental run about 25Mb
Should I Be expecting more on my Incremental?

Did you mean 140 MByte/sec for Full backup and 25 Mbit/sec for Incremental backup?

What type of incremental backup do you use?

Thank you.

[ratmo]

My bad the incremental one was not right and its a reverse incremental

Hello Ryan, Did you mean 140 MByte/sec for Full backup and 25 Mbit/sec for Incremental backup?

140 MByte/sec and 25 MByte/sec for clarity

Ryan,

Could we ask you to perform the following test – please, switch the proxy transport mode to network, run backup one more time and provide us with the bottleneck output and backup session log? Thank you.
