Confusing Performance

[HaM1]

Hi,

i have done a backup job with VmwareDR and this is my log(i have translated it from my germany client):

22.05.2009 17:14:31: Task successfull finished

22.05.2009 17:14:31: Finished: 5 files, KB

22.05.2009 17:14:31: Transferrate: 7785 MB/minute

22.05.2009 17:14:31: Duration: 00:33:43

The backup'ed vmdk was about 25GB in size. If this is backup'ed with a transferrate of 7785MB/minute, it should be finished after

about 4 minutes. Why does is take about 33 minutes to finish? I have started the backup job again with the same results.

Is it a LAN based backup or a SAN based backup. But 7785MB/minute via 100MBit/s LAN is not possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi again,

i have just recognized, that there is obviuosly missing a comma.

When having a look at the execution details, there is said that the performance was about 778, MB/minute

Ok, then the duration is ok. But isn't it a SAN backup?

Thanks!

are you backing up by using data recovery?

Hi Craig,

yes, correct. Within the vSphere client.
