Hi there, > > Let me know if you need more information. > I suspect the list guru's probably will want more info as this output doesn't give any real indication of where the problem might lie.
For starters, I'd provide the output from a completed full job. The output you provided is for an incremental, and indicates that your system took 28 minutes to search your entire server (the size of which we have no idea) to locate just under 30Mb of data that was eligible for backing up. I'm guessing most of this time was taken in the search not the backing up. What rates are you getting for full backups? The best way to track down bottlenecks is try and narrow the search. Whilst a backup is running use something like 'top' to keep an eye on the director, storage daemon, and database processes and see if any of them seem to take significant CPU hits. Also, check your iowait (It should be shown in the top header lines, probably as 'io%' or similar) - if that's high, it's an indicator your disk writes are the issue. Are you backing up multiple jobs at once? This can hammer your disk IO. What sort of speeds do you get from backing up the director/storage daemon? If these are faster, you might have networking issues. Is the database server and storage daemon using the same disk at the same time? Are you using data spooling, or at least attribute spooling. I'm probably wrong, but suspect the new batch insert code only works if the attributes are being spooled first. I've not managed to upgrade yet, and dont have any way to test this theory tho so hopefully someone else on the list can confirm or deny this please. The other thing is if you do happen to have data spooling turned on(Yes I know your using file backups, but I've seen some strange configs on this list :) ), then that can effectively double the length of your full backups as the storage daemon first spools to disk, then writes it to the volume. And finally, what spec are your servers? Both director and client ones. Oh and Storage and database if they're separate beasts as well. What database server are you using? If you provide this information, you have a much better chance of someone on the list being able to help you, or at least of being able to point you in the right direction.
