What sort of throughput do you experience when using vmProtect?

vmProtect 7

~50MB/s Average

Source: PERC 6i RAID 5 with 15K RPM SAS via 10Gbps Ethernet

Good performance. Mostly The slowen performance is because of The speed of The VMware datastores and not related to vmprotect.

Hi All

I'm running 2 x Dell T610 8x15k SAS and H700, Buffalo WSS 2k8 R2 SATA Raid 1 on 1 Gb Nic's and they mostly hit 20MB/s which I think is reasonable for Full Backup's, the Incremental's register a little slower at 10MB/s but finish a lot quicker

I'm using the Appliance as its much quicker and these are LAN based backups. These are from VMP7 but I'm running VMP 8 Beta so i'll run a few tests one that too.

Thanks

Nigel

Just an update to the above.

After running VM8 over a week or so I've seem a marked performance increase in the Exchange Aware backup compared to VM7 of around 30% on the same test server (Exchange 2007 - SBS2008)

Thanks

Just another update. I have loaded the Windows Agent of VMP8 and I'm surprised to be getting 46MB/s compared to SLOW on VMP7 (5-10 MB/s), I'm impressed. Just to note these are Full Backups.

Thanks

Nigel

Where in the UI does it say the throughput? Is this in the logs? Or are you just doing the math manually on the time it takes by the size of the vmdk files?

I'm looking at the jobs on the fly and via a network monitor (not very technical I know) but its an improvement on VMP7

Thanks

 Hello Nigel and all the participants of the thread,

Thank you for raising this question. I will be happy to give you more information on this topic.

As Jeremy noticed, there are many parameters that can influence the backup speed as read/write speed of the datastore and destination, network interfaces bandwidth and Virtual Appliance performance. If you have fulfilled the recommended requirements, but the backup speed is still not satisfactory, you schould also check that:

  • LAN-Free backup is activated. Hot-add vSphere feature should be enabled. Check the supported editions with this vSphere license limitation.
  • If backup is performed using NBD (network), make sure that Acronis vmProtect Virtual Appliance is not using "flexible" network card type by default, as it was in Acronis vmProtect 7.

To distinguish the backup speed in your environment, you can monitor it in the task summary of backup task details.

If you have additional questions, let me know.

Thank you.

Please keep in mind that incremental backups will never be fast in MB speed. This is because the changes are little and the time needed to process the changed blocks takes longer... so less data is transfered over a longer period meets slower MB/s

Simpel...

Hi Jeremy

Good point, but its still quicker which is a very good thing indeed. I'm currently testing Multi file storage as I use RSYNC to transfer the files off site and it takes a while for our NAS to workout the incremental, so it seems quicker to us Multi File storage for us.

Thanks

Nigel

I'll be trying this out on a gigabit LAN on the same subnet. Let's see how this works out.
