You can make sure any antivirus that is running on the backup server is not scanning files to be backed up (assuming they've been checked otherwise to be clean). &nbsp;AV can often kill BackupE performance. &nbsp;Of course, getting rid of preprocessing/estimating will speed up the overall job as well. &nbsp;That speed doesn't sound too far out of whack. &nbsp;Do you think that performance of the server is bogging down and contributing to the speed? &nbsp;Do the performance stats agree?<br />

How many drives have you ? Which manufactura and modell ? if possible, you can increase the speed with an additional drive and with fibre channel host interace.<br />

1GB = 1000MB, so you are already at the max speed of your LAN. Your speed can't be higher!. The only way to increase speed would be to use a BE agent on the system which you are backing up, the agent compresses the data and pushes it to the BE server. But such agents only exist for supported systems and not for &quot;Black Boxes&quot; like your filer.

He's getting 1000MB/minute, not per second. &nbsp;If it were per second, he would be doing great because 1 GB/sec and 1 Gbps are not the same thing. &nbsp;The network connection is rated at 1Gbps but that's not necessarily real world. &nbsp;If he stated it correctly, he's getting about 133 Mbps across the link (1000MB/min = 16.6MB/sec = 133 Mbps (16.6 * 8). &nbsp;You still have other overhead and bottlenecks. &nbsp;The speed with which data is scanned, archived, compressed and added to an archive file on the recieving end might have more to do with it than the overall network connection speed. &nbsp;You should test backups to the same server from other machines that also have Gb connections to see if it's the same.

That's more or less what I said. I thnk you're already doing pretty well. &nbsp;But if you have the ability you can test it from other servers and backup scenarios. &nbsp;I think you're slow down will be in the file archiving and tape backup process.

Hi @ all,<br />
<br />
I have a LTO-4 library and Backup Exec 12 latest serive pack.<br />
<br />
My Server is a PE 860 and connected by 1 GB network, I want to backup a Celerra Filer, my speed on backing up is âbout 1000 MB/min,<br />
<br />
Can i make it faster?<br />

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
