Excellent answer. &nbsp;Encryption of NBDSSL was slowing things down. &nbsp;Don't have a SAN, so will use non encrypted NBD.

We have VMWare ESXi v5.x and are testing Arcserve host-based backup using D2D. &nbsp;It works, but the network backups and restores use NBDSSL and are too slow to be useful. &nbsp;2 hours to backup a single VM (80GB of hard drives) and 3-4 hours to restore it.<br />

Will changing from NDBSSL to NBD help this? &nbsp;I ran change_to_http.bat on both the D2D install and the host-based vm backup install. &nbsp;Both worked, but the restore still used NBDSSL. &nbsp;How do you force it to use NBD.<br />

How do you speed of the processes to make the software usable?

Arcserve host-based VMbackup too slow with NBDSSL

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

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
