Not that I doubt you Martin, I actually have wondered if verification was worth it. Why do say it is a waste?

Our LTO drives get almost a gig a minute throughput. Well that's what backup exec reports anyhow. The server I just looked at backs up 130GB with verify in less then 2.5 hours. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Majorowicz <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 1:27 PM Subject: Backup Miracle I think I've been tasked with making something near impossible happen, so I'm going to start by asking the question here then start my google-fu. My boss has just asked for a backup solution that will do the following: Complete a full backup of SBS 2003 server. There is currently nearly 300 GB of data on this server. Wants Exchange included (Currently about 30 GB in size) Wants a system state Wants it verified. Must be complete in 10 Hours! The current backup system is taking about 24 hours to do this not including the verify, and I think there may be an I/O problem as it is NTBACKUP with BackupAssist v.4.0.16 backing up to a USB 2.0 drive. Unless my math is off, this backup should only take about 5 hours, assuming the transfer occurs at about 20 Mbps. Unfortunately there is some sort of bottleneck that is throttling this back to about 4. What am I missing that would help me fix this problem?
