Slow Backup over local Network

Thread needs solution

Backing up a local data folder to a network share is slow at ~ 450kb/sec over a 1GB link. Performing a drag and drop copy of the same folder via windows runs at 24 mb/sec.

The folder to be backed up is on Windows XP, backing up via local network to a share on a Windows 2008 server.

It is not an issue with cataloging, as I have switched to fast cataloging, and it is the actual backup over the network that is slow.

Hello William,

in order to localize the problem please check if backing up to local disk is slow as well. It would be also useful to perform disk backup to the same network share.

With this information please contact our support for investigation.

Thank you.
