First thing, is to turn off VSP / VSS if its Windows 2000 /
Windows 2003.
Any AV, should be turned off.
Also look for any large cache files created on your C: Drive -
example being vxfiVspcache_1.tmp (make sure you are set to view hidden or system
files).
Any disk I/O software should be turned
off.
Also, try a backup policy (create a test one) that does JUST the
C: drive on its own for this particular
client.

Ok, I am looking for help.
I am running a Solaris 9 master server, with
5.1MP3. I have 8 windows servers that I backup, 3 of them are 2000, and
5 of them are on 2003 SP2.
Well, I setup the policy for each server to by
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, and also turned on Multistream/Multiplex.
So it kicks off 3 channels: Shadow, C drive,
D drive.
C drive is 2 hardware mirrored disk, D drive is a
hardware raid 5 of 4 disks.
Well, the C drive backup takes forever! As an
example from 1 server....
Shadow -- 4 mins (911,909 kbytes) C drive -- 2 hours 29 mins (49,461 kbytes) D drive -- 1 hour 54 mins (95,458,574 kbytes)
My exclude list for this server has the standard
entries and a few that I have added. C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\*.lock C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock
C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\Temp C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\* *.mdf *.ldf C:\Windows\NTUninstall* C:\Windows\PCHEALTH
I am trying to figure out why it takes so long to
backup the C drive. Should I be excluding something? I am at a
point that I am going to remove the C drive from the backup. SQLSERVER
is running on this box(s).
