fbackup on console is very slow.

[chuanpeng.wang]

I try to backup some files by SAM.
On console, it takes 10 hours.
But when I backup the file from telnet, it takes 1 hour.

Why?

Shalom,

Overhead for the GUI?

That seems rather extreme.

I'd say check the video card is working correctly with xstm and check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for errors.

Hi,
what is the contents of your fbackup config file, normally /var/adm/fbackupfiles/config ?
Are you running both fbackups in verbose mode ? Are there a lot of small files or few large files to be backed up ?
What is the speed setting for the console ?

This is normal issue

Your console as a baud rate off 9600 bit/s

On a telnet session you have 10 / 100 or 1000 Mbit.

It is the speed from the console that cannot follow.

One advise : use only your console if it is really necessary
