I have Backup takes 12 hours on a fileshare that normally took 3
Updated: 02 Mar 2009
I have an LTO4 tape drive that backs up about 10 servers. For our fileshare we have a cluster with 2 nodes (both are VMs). For a while node 1 was down and we were only backing up node 2, which was fine, backups on that server took about 3 hours. Now we have fixed node 1 and put it back into the cluster and now the fileshare backup takes 12-13 hours. Node 1 is the primary node and the node for the fileshare. I am not sure what could of caused this dramatic increase in time needed when the only thing that was changed was fixing the node to complete the cluster (also, backing up the fileshare from the cluster also took 12-13 hours since node 1 is the primary). I am looking for any clue as what to look into. Thanks
