Hi Steve...
Well, my backup windows is something like 10 12 hours, size of a full
backup is near of 2TB and incremental per day not bigger than 20G.
My idea is to perform a full backup on thursday (to keep a copy off
the office on weekend) and incremental/differential during the week.
OK, new

You didn't say what your client machine is. How about an image copy and
a complete incremental on the weekend and a incremental-by-date on other
days. For a full restore you can restore the image and then apply the
incrementals. This should be reasonably quick. Incremental-by-date is
Hi,
Maybe You can try this first:, using Operating system backup, try to backup
direct to tape, and see the result.
I've been facing this kind of problem, file server backup using LANFree.
Total data approximately 900 GB - 1 TB, number of files approx 1,1 millions,
and it took more than 24

Is the destination of your backup pool tape? Have you confirmed with
VALIDATE LANFREE on the server
Are you seeing a proxied by message in the client log to indicate that
the storage agent is in use?
Is the *network* path configured as 1Gb - I'm suspecting you have a LAN
backup and
Hi Steve, thanks for answering...
Yeah, the destination is tape, i see on StorageAgent console the
connection to server and opening tape, during the backup I see the
bytes increasing on Backup by LANFree: (but, this value is ALWAYS
lower than the value of normal backup... i don't know if this is
What is the nature of the data that you're backing up here? Large
files/objects or lots of smaller files/objects? The classic
recommendation for SAN backups direct to tape is that it's best used
only for larger objects (eg database backups, TDPs or disk image etc)
to ensure optimal
Hi David,
Well FileServer is exact what i'm backup ;/
A lot of files with sizes between 100k and 20Mb.
So, there is nothing that can be done to improve this, at least for 100GB/h?
Just to point my head toward right direction.. LANFree backups or LAN backups.
Thanks,

LAN Free will be poor with this kind of data.
What is your actual backup restore requirement? What's your backup
window, how much data and how much changed data per day.
