Andy, I have to backup about 70TB in one job.

I have two LTO5 tape drives. Since the data on one of my server has grown big the back-up takes 10-12 days to complete. I would like to split this job in to two jobs. Has anybody done this kind of a set-up? I need some guidance on how to go about it." "Mr. Uthra: at a glance I think the only way to do that is having to Job configurations for the same Client, with two FileSet configurations for them respectively. This is very manual, since you will have to "load balance" the different backup paths for each FileSet by yourself. Just in time: unless there is a huge amount of information on this server it's not normal for a Backup Job take 12 days to complete, and maybe there is some bottlenecks in your structure / configuration.

How much data are you backing up? I'm able to back up almost 500GB(over a million files) in around 4-5 hours and that is to an RDX cartridge in a Tandberg Quikstation. Twice that (around 1TB) would probably only take about 8-10 hours, less than a day. If you have only around 1-4TB of data you're backing up 10-12 days is abnormal for that when dealing with some type of local hardware(not over Internet or VPN), and I'd look into why it's taking so long instead of trying to work around it. -Andy +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by akent...@yahoo.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
