Guest Mac Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 About little over a week ago we updated our backup/file server. We use ntback to perform a daily backup of local files and some network files. Before the update to SP2 and .Net 3.5 the backup took about 5-6 hours now they take over 24 hours. I am using the latest driver for my tape drive (4.3.33.0) as per Windows updates and the manufacture Quantum SDLT 320 Tape Drive. I have ran a cleaning tape through it an have tried new tapes too. The backup job consists of 5 SDLT tapes, one for each day from Monday to Friday. Here the job summary: Normal backup. Summary log. Do not verify. Use hardware compression. Do not restrict access to owner or administrator. some file types excluded. Replace data on media. Use media name "Friday Backup". Use set description "Friday Backup". Of course for each other day the summary would have its day of the week instead. Thank you.
