System State Backup very, very slow
Created: 26 Sep 2012 | 6 comments
I just did a new install of BE 2010 Small Business Edition on a brand new SBS 2011 server. File backups, Exchange backups, etc work fine. But the System State backup takes forever.
It seems to stall with a status of: "Updating Catalogs"
The current directory is: "Windows Managemnet Instrumentation"
Current file is "WMI"
The byte count (around 20GB) doesn't seem to change.
I am backing up to a HP RDX
Anyone have a solution?

Hi,
Check the Known Issues TN below for further information:

Symantec is aware of this...just vote it up!
Thanks!
If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.
Actually, it was BE 2012, not BE 2010 that I installed.
...just edit your original post as you state you did a clean installation of BE 2010.
Seems that there might still be a problem with BE 2012, so check the Known Issues section for this.
What is the speed that you get if you use the built-in Windows backup utility?
If any AV is installed and you disable it, does your speed increase?

I just ran a successful System State backup to a B2D folder on the server instead of using the RDX. For now, I am going to continue using the B2D folder, backing up the volume with the B2D folder to the RDX.
Is there a way to to schedule a B2D2RDX?
Yes you can add a stage to your existing job and duplicate to RDX
I added a stage to duplicate the System State backup to the RDX. Works fine.
Would you like to reply?
