'Mounting restore point' takes long

[FabianSch]

Hello,

we are currently backing up our vSphere cluster with 30 VMs with veeam to EMC Datadomain (ddboost enabled).
The Datadomain is connected via 1 Gbit.
The backup runs pretty smooth, its finished after 1 hour.

But if i want to restore application items such as Active Directory or Exchange the operation "Mounting restore points" is in progress for hours ..
I dont know if it eventually finishes so i can browse the items i want to restore, because we installed veeam 3 days ago and its the first restore today.

Live status output of our datadomain:

10/22 10:53:47

21,557 21,557
14,005 14,005
11,204 11,204
29,839 29,839


Any ideas why it takes so long ?

Thanks
Fabian

Fabian, where Veeam B&R console is located in relation to the repository?

[FabianSch]

The B&R console is installed on a HP DL380 G7 and connected via 2Gbit team over cisco 2960 switches to the datadomain.
It takes about 1 Hour to load a backup in exchange veeam explorer.

We have a DD2500 and mounting something from it also takes some time.
Is juist because de DD needs te rehydrate the data.

When we mount from a regular NAS device mounting is fast

Okay thank you,
How fast is your restore speed on file level and vm restore?

Actually that is among the reasons why we do not recommend using any deduplicating storage as a primary backup repository.
