> > > We are trying to speed up our Exchange backups that are currently only using about 15% of the network bandwidth. Our servers are running Windows 2012R2 and Exchange 2013 CU15 with TSM 7.1.0.1 and TDPEXC 7.1.0.1. Currently we are backing up 15 DAGS per Exchange server (we have multiple exchange servers) and we are only backing up on servers that are standby replicas. Currently we are trying a 14 day schedule were we do a full backup of a different DAG per day, and incrementals on the rest. Even doing this we are having trouble completing them in 24 hours (before the next day's backup is supposed to start).
I saw an old posting from Del saying to increase RESOURCEUTILIZATION on the DSMAGENT. Does that mean the DSM.OPT in the BACLIENT folder? It was set at 2. Do either the buffers or buffrsize options make any difference? Also if we want to "parallelize" the backups does that mean separate scheduler services for each one? We currently use 14 different batch files (for the 14 days of the cycle) with something like this: [day1.bat] tdpexcc.exe backup dag1 full tdpexcc.exe backup dag2,dag3,dag4,dag5 incr tdpexcc.exe backup dag6,dag7,dag8,dag9 incr tdpexcc.exe backup dag10,dag11,dag12,dag13 incr tcpexcc.exe backup dag14,dag15 incr exit
