Best strategy to Speed up backup transfer rate between Datto device and Hyper V - Host
The problem is that these are both connected to 10/100 switches .
As a result i am only achieving 7.5 mb/s transfer speeds . I have 2 terabytes of data to backup with incremental . As you can imagine these backups take DAYs to complete !! I know I need to upgrade the channel between these two machines ( Indeed the entire Lan )
What I need to know short term is how to provide a way that the Datto device can reach the maximum transfer speed the server can produce .
My plan is to attach one of the cards to a very fast switch or even directly to Datto . I am even open to installing an even faster method .
My question is what strategy you are using or would recommend for your own connectivity . ?
I have attached the device manager page from the host so you can see what I have to work with .
Thanks

If the server and the switch are in the same location then drop a new switch in. Even an inexpensive 16-Port Gigabit switch would work. If VLANs are required then a web managed switch is the best choice. A couple hundred dollars at most.

That will greatly improve things.
Make sure to run continuous incrementals for the backups. I think the Datto does that but I'm not sure as we don't work with their products.
