After months of trying to get upgraded to v12, I finally got Veaam to v13 on Windows 10.   The backup speed is amazing, over 200 MB/s.  It is maxing out the 1 Gbps network.   The two tape drives are running at 76-80 MB/s.   I did have to remove my SCSI tape drive to get to Windows 10.   I will have to replace the motherboard to get to Windows 11.   

Today, my 2.5G network upgrade arrives.  It wa $170 for two managed switched for VLANs and 4 NICs.  
I ordered two TP-Link Omada 2.5G 5 port managed switches to get VLANs on my Fortinet firewall.  I need them to get more DHCPv6-PD subnets from AT&T fiber.  I am setting up VLANs on DMZ and internal6 for my workstations and servers.  I have four Brostrend 2.5G Ubuntu capable NICs cards.

Two for my HP Z840 Hyper-V server.  One for DMZ and one for Internal6 for all my VMs.  One for my workstation and tape server.   By the weekend, I should have everything configured and ready to test network performance on Veaam.  

So far no issues with Veeam.

          Also, ​@SCSIraidGURU ...your post here is just “information”, correct? If so, I’ll have the Community Hub moderators change your post to a Comment post rather than having it be a question post.

                Congrats on the bandwidth upgrade.  I’m looking to rebuild my lab shortly and need to invest in some new gear. 

                 

                I’ve been doin this at work monitoring storage fiber, network copper and finding inexpensive ways to significantly boost the performance of specific things lately.   Try copying 30TB over a 1Gb link :) 

                 

                Veeam is a monster and will pretty much take what you give it if you have enough CPU and disk. There will always be a bottleneck, but the key is to try an max out things in the best cost efficient way while hitting your RTO/RPO’s if required.

                  Scott, 10G is amazing and expensive.   I went to 2.5G as a cheaper way.   Problem with 10Gbps is you need fiber cards for distance.  SFP+ is good to 5 meters.

                    great to hear! I’ve upgraded all my Windows servers to v13, deployed a new VSA on 13 and migrated a Windows to Linux VSA - all have been running great and no issues.
