Re: How long does status of "rebuilding" take for a large backup to remote datac

How long does status of "rebuilding" take for a large backup to remote datacenter?

We have two datacenters that are remote to each other.  We manually performed a large 11.29 TB backup of our file server VM from one datacenter to the other over a slow connection.  The backup took approximately 15 days but appears to have completed.  It shows that it transferred 10.72 TB of data (I assume its less than the original size because of deduplication).  Once it completed it changed to a status of "rebuilding".

Its been in this rebuilding status since December 16th (so for about 24 days and counting).  I just want to confirm that this is expected behavior for this amount of data for a backup that took so long to complete. and that this will eventually change to status of "protected" if we just wait long enough.

Is there some sort of formula or way to calculate how long rebuilding should take, or a way to see its progress?

Hi adidasnmotion

Thank you for writing to us

“Rebuilding” is usually the phase where the backup goes from a single copy to a HA redundant copy on two nodes within the cluster. This may also be attempting to re-create a backup that was corrupted in transit. I recommend that you engage PM Support to verify what is going on and see if there are any underlying issues to deal with.

Hope this helps.!!

Mahesh
