Morning all!
We recently upgraded our backup server from BENT 8.6 on a Compaq 1600 PIII-400 running Windows 2000, to BEWS 9.0.4454 on a Dell 1650 dual PIV-1400 running Windows 2003.
I've managed to troubleshoot almost all of the errors we encountered, but this last one is a doozy.
We have to run backups on the individual mailboxes, no way around that. With 8.6, we ran at about 50-60MB/min, but with 9.0 we only get about 1-5MB/min. Backing up the information and directory stores, we get on average about 400MB/min. We are running Symantec, but the mode is set to MAPI only.
Nothing has changed with the exchange server (same make/model as the backup server, exchange 5.5), and nothing has changed with the switch between the two servers (cisco 2950). Both servers NICs are set to 100MB/Full Duplex. Port monitoring doesn't have any collisions, drops, or anything out of the ordinary. . .
And the backup does complete successfully, about a week later, but we need to get back up to a speed were we can do these three times a week (M-W-F).
Can anybody offer anything?
thanks in advance!
