Re: Clarification on ONBAR Backup performance issue..

1. Is the backup done to a Veritas system that's on a different (physical) server? If so, check the network. This is our situation and over the years I've had the following network related problems: a. The routes from server A to server B changed. Additional hops translate to additional delays no matter how short their duration. b. Has the device configuration for the network card changed? We've had ours suddendly change from full to half duplex or 100 mbs to 10 mbs. c. Remember, it's NEVER the network. 2. Does the veritas back up anything other than Informix through Onbar? For example, standard UNIX files? a. Are they taking longer also? b. Could any other backups be running at the same time? 3. You say you haven't rebooted for a while. I think I'd schedule this ASAP just to eliminate this as a possibility. My experience is that many Informix problems (at least with AIX) disappear after a reboot.
