I am currently running Backup Exec on a virtual server to back up a DFS Replicated file share using shadow copy components. The share is around 1.5TB and backs up to a tape drive. We usually have a back up speed of 1.2GB per minute which I've been told is a good speed. The only problem is that the share takes around 17 hours to back up and we have to do a full back up each time.
I am wondering if it would be better to have the server use VRay in order to run differential backups to speed up the backup process. We would be looking to run differential backups throughout the week and then run a full backup at the end of the week (Friday afternoons).
If this is not a viable solution, then we will just have to adjust the schedule of our daily backups so that it doesn't interfere with user performance.
Thanks in advance to all who help with this.
