Is there away to IMPROVE THROUGHPUT TIME???

[rickb80]

Our backup takes forever. Fileserve2000 does 75,665,922,049 bytes in 12 hours, 0 minutes, and 29 seconds.
Throughput rate: 100 MB/min,but sometimes it will process faster say 136 MB/min and will get done in 8 1/2 hours. Just curious on some hints, new to back up exec, last guy left it it shambles, slowly working it back to health, feel like this is the last hitch. Thanks in advance for the insight.

Well first run some local backups of about 500mb to 1 gig and see what the transfer rate is. If it notible then you can look toward the network. If not then look to optimize the drivers, etc. Update to latest SCSI card drivers and Veritas Tape Drivers. If you find its the network, then from your media server goto start - run - Fileeserve2000\c% - assuming this is a windows OS. Find a folder.files of about 500mb and copy them to the media server. TIme it .... Then do the reverse. Also try running some test with Backup to disk. The file copy should tell you if its something in the network. Set all the swtich to 100/FUll and NICs, etc. All depends
