Backup Exec 2010 Job Rate 1000x slower than Backup Exec 12.5
Updated: 27 May 2010 | 7 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
This is from when I was using Backup Exec 12.5. Note the last 2 values, 635GB of data backedup at 1.1GB/min.
| Daily Backup | HP 1 | Backup | Successful | 100% | 3/3/2010 01:10:04 | 3/3/2010 15:19:54 | 14:09:50 | 635,552,497,805 | 1,133.00 MB/min |
This is from 2010 taken a couple days later, the exact same job. The only difference is the application. Note the last 2 values, 8.9GB of data backedup at 6MG/min and it took 6hrs longer.
| Daily Backup | HP 1 | Backup | Successful | 100% | 3/9/2010 01:10:05 | 3/9/2010 21:56:20 | 20:46:15 | 8,949,772,128 | 6.00 MB/min |
This is unacceptable. Not only am I getting worse performance I'm not getting all my data backed up. This is enough to make me want to revert back to 12.5.

Why dont you troubleshoot
Why dont you troubleshoot this? I see the numbers, but are you attempting to find a root cause? I find it hard to believe it's just BE2010.
In fact, your data selection is different it would seem too.
There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."

From the devices Tab, right click the drive and select properties
What are the settings for block size, buffer size and number of buffers?
Also the settings for both single block options? These should both be DIS-abled, since the effectively bypass all buffering
Are you using Symantec Drivers? (if so, have you downloaded the newest ones posted just recently?) Have you tried manufacturer drivers?
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
My settings are: block size
My settings are:
block size (64k)
buffer size (64k)
buffer count (10)
Settings for single block mode are disabled.
Latest firmware and drivers (tested with Hp & Symantec)
I´m getting 110MB/min which is very annoying.
With 12.5 and same drive I got up to 3000MB/min.
What´s the deal with APC powerchute network shutdown? I read in a few threads on the net there are possible issues?
APC is not installed on the backup machine but on others.

Local backup, or backup of remote servers? If remote servers, have you pushed your RAWS agent installation to the servers?
If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.

Backup of remote servers are very slow. The RAWS agents pushed via BE 2010 server.
It seems there is a problem with Windows Server 2k8 R2.
Windows Server 2003 is working fine and solved my speed problem.

Mmm...have you checked with Symantec support to see if there is a resolution to this?
If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.
My apologies for not coming
My apologies for not coming back to thread sooner. I did contact Symantec support and while the agent was very helpful he was unable to provide a solution. I did try a last ditch effort today before just wiping the server clean and reinstalling everything. I rolled the drivers back and ran a test back up. I got a job rate of 670MB/min for a 500MB test. I'm quite happy with result. Thank you to those that provided possible solutions. I hope that this helps someone else with this issue.
