Slow restore from deduplicated 11.7 vault (All-Flash)

Hi everyone reading this,

using the latest build 44421 of Acronis Backup 11.7 I still worry about the restore speed - I have been dealing with this since 3 years.

Restore from a deduplicated vault in general is slow (around 35MB/s), while the hardware utilization of the storage node is low.

I created an all-flash test enviroment, which still gave me no faster restores, but even lower storagenode utilization.

Specs:
StorageNode:

  • 1x Xeon E3-1270V2 (4x3,5Ghz, 8M Cache)
  • 4x 8GB DDR3, 1333Mhz
  • 1x Intel 520 120GB (Systen + StorageNode Appfiles)
  • 1x Samsung 850 Pro 250GB (Catalog, DeDup and Datastore)
  • 1x Intel i350 Gigabit Ethernet

Target machine:

  • 1x i3-4370
  • 2x 4GB DDR3, 1666Mhz
  • 1x Intel 535 250GB
  • 1x Intel i217 Gigabit Ethernet

Data was restored from a deduplicated vault on the all-flash machine.

Few data from the vault below:
Archive: 16
Backups: 21
DeDup (Locality): 53MB
Catalog (sum): 3,1GB
Unified_data: 182GB
"computers" folder: 11GB

Restore of a full backup from GFS scheme, standard parameters was about 25MB/s.
Load on the storage node during restore:
CPU: 4%
RAM: 21GB static
System disk: 0%
Data/Catalog/DeDup disk: 5%
Ethernet: 25%

During catalogization: Only 1 core is used, slow progress.

If only one part of the machine was at 100% I could improve that, but not with everything staying almost idle.

Any suggestion would be great.

Hello Igor,

build versions below:

Storage node has 11.7.44421
Clients have 11.7.44421

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.

You mention that this issue has been ongoing for 3 years.

Did you recreate the vaults after the update from scratch and these are new backups? Did you use a detach/attach operation? Or did you simply update the storage node?

If you did not create a new vault, would it be possible to create one in order to run a quick test on a new vault (created using the new version)?

Hello Igor,

thanks for your reply. Meanwhile I created support case 02717738, which Ivan Lapushenkov is working on.

Your request:
Yes, the issue (slow restore with no hardware bottleneck visible) is with me since 3 years, through various builds.

Method used:

  1. Upgrade test StorageNode to 44421
  2. Delete any vaults
  3. Create the all-flash vault, Backwards-compatibility: off
  4. Backup 18 clients (all build 44421) to it
  5. Restore a system
