Nothing but the ESXi Host & the Backup PC.ĭrag & drop copying files from that Guest to the Backup PC in Windows Explorer runs about as fast as you'd expect it to. >24h to restore that same Guest, isolated on a Gigabit switch with These are the free versions so it's one Guest at a time, per Backup PC. The Backup PCs are two of the fastest, server-class PCs in the house, both connected to different ports on the same Cisco Gigabit switch as the ESXi Host.īoth take ~12h to back up a 1.25TB Guest. 2 different Backup PCs each with different Windows versions, Veeam versions, hardware, etc. Their suggestion to you is exactly what we have here, x2. Veeam backups are brutally slow, fail frequently with little information as to why (even in the massive logs) and wait until you see the Restore process time warp!!! They were never what I'd call "fast", but they get slower as time goes by. Veeam support is suggesting to connect the drive to a Windows PC and have that PC act as the repository. I have recently started to encounter very poor performance when doing a Veeam backup copy job.

If I copy the veeam backup files from the veeam server to the USB drive attached to the Qnap from within the Windows environment of the Veeam server it takes about 8 hours and processes at about 60 - 70 MB/sĪnyone have any suggestions or have seen this before? These backups were completing fine before, so I am not sure exactly what has started to cause this issue. I would need to use a workstation somewhere else. The only issue with that is the major inconvenience since my server room is completely Doing a disk IO test from the veeam server to the USB attached to the qnap I got these results The data processed totals for the copy job were 335 GB read and processed and 149 GB transferred. The last attempt it had been running at that step for 25 hours and was only at 30%.


The job hangs on merging the backup files. Once it competes it copies the files to an external USB 3 hard drive attached to the Qnap. The primary job backs up our VMware environment to a Qnap TS-869U-RP.
