They are both backed up everey night using ntbackup.
One backs up 58Gb in 1.5 hours but the other takes 19.5 hours to back up 59Gb.
Does anyone know why the second one might take so long?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Could be a bad drive or bad cable/terminator for example.
Hope this helps!

Re: DAT72 performance
As it did not find any issues, I am suspicious that the problem lies with the performance of the disk array it is backing up. Is there a similar tool to test disk performance?

Re: DAT72 performance
What sort of data are you backing up ?
It will probably take a lot longer to backup 59GB worth of small files compared to a single 58GB file...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: DAT72 performance
the sysperf tool will only let me test the tape drive, not the disks.
I completed the tape tests and they say that the drive is OK and working at 83% capacity.
Rob,
the files are very similar so this isn't the problem.

Re: DAT72 performance
Sys perf will read from disks to measure performance.
from the help text:
Performing the System Performance Backup Performance Test
This test reads data from up to four separate locations on the file system. The reads are concurrent and simulate up to four concurrent backup data streams. The performance of these reads is measured and reported in the System Performance Results tab. Use this test to measure the performance of the file system to be used for backup. Use this test in conjunction with the Drive Performance Test to identify performance bottlenecks in the system. This test is read-only and can be safely run on backup source data.
Default location of this text on your locale disk:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/HP%20StorageWorks%20Library%20and%20Tape%20Tools/catalogs/enu/help/PerformingSysPerfBackupPreTest.html
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
