I think you are misreading the information and misinterpreting it.<br />
<br />
It is a 12 hour transaction.<br />
Step one create a snapshot after recording start of job<br />
Step two, transfer snapshot to backup storage after recording start of job<br />
Step three complete transfer, and Mark transfer complete<br />
Step four deleted snapshot, and Mark task complete.<br />
<br />
Note date/time info.

Adding to my earlier comment, why are you starting the backup during the day. Presumably this will be peak utilization time.<br />
See if changing ti to start at 8 pm as an example and have it complete by 8 am the following day Additional benefit you will capture all the data for that day in the backup.

<div>
But 16 MB/s is not really a lot..., as far as no other jobs running at the same time...<br>Would be interesting if the throughput raises if you move the start time to 8:00 pm<br><br><br>
</div>


<div>
Job throughput seems a bit low. WIth that throughout the total time of 12 hours to complete the job is expected and there is nothing unusual. I suggest starting the job at a time when nobody works. It should reduce the total time. You can also reconfigure your backups to perform only incremental backups during the week if you haven't done it already.

<div>
Yes, is correct, no problem.

Why the NetBackup has to take more than 24 hours to backing up the VM?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

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.
