I'm trying to set up the options in amanda.conf to improve the performance (this equates to shortest time to backup) of these five Windows NT/2K servers:
server1 C$ 2.19GB server1 D$ 35.6GB server2 C$ 1.58GB server2 D$ 12.9GB server3 C$ 2.18GB server3 D$ 11.6GB server4 C$ 1.3GB server4 D$ 20.4GB server5 C$ 2.97GB server5 D$ 13.7GB If you run the backup on these servers single threaded it takes about 10 hours to backup. I've changed inparallel to 8 and maxdumps to 8 also. The dumporder is "sssSsssS". In the latest test, the backup completed in 8 hours and 41 minutes. I'm using amanda with gnutar and Samba to do the backup. Does anyone have any ideas on how I may improve the performance of this backup? Thanks.
