Hi All,
Im just taking over the backup management for our business and wanted to check we are making the best use of what we have for a given backup.
We have backup exec 2014 running on Server 2012 which is happily backing up lots of our systems on a daily basis. We also have a remote site which we connect to via a 100Mb MPLS link. On this site we have a file server with around 30GB of data. Currently this remote server has the BE agent deloyed and we are running a Friday night full backup to disk job over this link.
This job is running for 42-44 hrs each weekend.
My question is, is there any way, using the backup exec client we can obtain better utilisation of this link / reduce the data / time taken for this backup? For example leverage any client side compression or dedupe?
Im expecting a "Nothing can be done" response to be honest, but I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing any magic bells and whistles before I resign myself to accepting this.
Thanks in advance
