Very Very slow backup performance backing up a CIFS share

[danm190]

Hello Everyone,

Newbie here..

I have a Veeam 6 install, I have an EMC 5300VNX that we have configured a CIFS share on. I have no problems backing up VM's from the EMC but when I go to back up the CIFS share the backup job crawls.... as it's so slow it's a failure.

I have the Veeam Backup server as my only Proxy server. (Still trying to figure out the proxy stuff.. like what dictates a proxy server? - Do i make a proxy server the same server as I'm backing up?)

Any ideas? I tried using the Backup Copy job but the job continues to fail with exception/processing errors. (I can't find the exact error I was getting while using the Copy Job method.)
