Compacting Task - only 28% after 4 days

Thread needs solution

I'm running Backup & Recovery 10, Virtual Edition w/ Dedupe.
We're backing up 18 VM's to a single 500GB vault.

The compacting task for my storage node has been running for 4 days now and is only at 28%. I have canceled & unscheduled all of my backup jobs to try and give more IO/resources to the compaction, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Is this normal? Has anybody else experience similar behavior?

Hello James,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

Here is a trick that can expedite the deduplication process:

Please backup one of your VM machines applying the compaction. This will create a database using a single backup task. After that run all desired backups. This should reduce the time of all operation. 

Please let us know the results. If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
