Poor storage node network performance
I am currently demo'ing Acronis Backup 12.5 for my organization's Exchange 2010 backup scheme. However, I am experiencing particularly slow network performance when backing up to a storage node -- transfers seems to be capped at 250-300mbps. Whereas if I use a simple network folder location (on the same server as the storage node), the backup process will exhaust all available bandwidth on the nic. Am I missing some with regards to performance tuning with the storage node service?
The server that I am using for the storage node is dedicated with a 12gbps SAS/DAS shelf so disk performance is definitely not the bottleneck.
This matters greatly as our Exchange server contains more than 30 db's totaling nearly 3TB -- I would need monthly full backups to use all available bandwidth in order to complete in a timely manner.
My backup plan is set to 'high priority' with compression set to disabled as well.
Thanks,
Adam
