Slow full backup and clone save set speed

[dlu326]

I did an upgrade from NetWorker 6.1.3 to 7.1.2. Now full backup and clone savesets speed are very slow. It took 75 minutes for clone savesets before, but now more than 10 hours to finish. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

hmm.. 1^st thing is to check the CFI and media index (nsrck)

There is probably a bug with respect to this section. Did you try 7.2 yet or is there a patch for 7.1.2 available?

 

[dlu326]

I didn't try 7.2 because we don't have update service anymore. Does anyone know that is there a patch available?If the patch is not available, how difficult to downgrade to older version?

If there is a patch, you should download it from this url:

On the other hand you may download 7.2 as evaluation and install it - you will not have license problems.

Downgrading is not really a problem but you have to recover a NW 6.1.3 media database (mmrecov).

I have the same problem (OS AIX 5L, NW 7.1.3, fiber channel). Sometimes, we backup with a rate of 16 Mbits about, and 12 hours after the rate is about 4 Mbits for the same server
