Slow Backup Copy over High Latency, High Bandwidth WAN

[chrishahn]

Attempting to send backup copy jobs to a new DR site. There is 100mbps connection on both sides using point to point VPN. Latency between sites is 70ms. We are only getting 300KB/s - 1.2MB/s copy speeds, and the speed often fluctuates.

Would the WAN acceleration feature help here, or is that only really for low bandwidth connections?

Are there any other tweaks / adjustments needed due to the high latency between the sites to improve the performance?

Hi Chris, what are the bottleneck stats for this job?

[chrishahn]

The Network is always the bottleneck.

Load: Source 1% > Proxy 4% > Network 99% > Target 0%

In this case I'd definitely try WAN acceleration.
