VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
Hello everyone, thank for your inputs on my issue. Appreciate it.The restoration was successful for about 118:26:xx.I guess the way to move forward with this is to upgrade the VBR and find a better solution for the storage and do some tests again :D
Hello, update as of today.Status: In progress (69%) Statistics Restore rate: 4MB/s (634.9.0 GB left) Time remaining: 18:xx:xx Log 452.2GB restored at 1 MB/s [nbd] Time elapsed: 93:52:xx Memory utilization 5.7/16.0GB (36%) with the SQL process on highest consumption of 2905.9MB. Network utlization still with the average send 20Mbps.There’s a significant drop with the restore rate from 15MB to 4MB. @bp4JC, unfortunately, its VBR 9.5 Update 4 (9.5.4.2753).
Hello Everyone, Thank you for you inputs. The job aborted due to server termination. So I had to restart the job again but with the following changes:Increased Veeam VM memory to 16GB from 4GB. Why 16GB? At first, I’ve configured it 8GB but after booting the Veeam VM without running the VBR my memory is already consuming 38-41% with the SQL Server (VEEAMSQL2016) process. Moved my restoration host to another ESXi host, from host #1 with 7 VM running to host #2 with only 2 VM running. Both hosts are manage by the same vCenter. While the Veeam VM is on a different ESXi host manage by a different vCenter. Results as of this writing:Status: In progress (52%) Statistics Restore rate: 15MB/s (983.0 GB left) Time remaining: 19:xx:xx Log 99.5GB restored at 1 MB/s [nbd] Time elapsed: 20:44:xx Memory utilization 7.5/16.0GB (47%) with the SQL process on highest consumption.

The engine is definitely capable of more, so I guess this is some HW/config limit and I assume that’s about the virtual USB performance - I think that is not really the most optimized vSphere use case. Today you can probably check the performance stats of the external drive. Is it 100% busy? I assume you need this restore done, so I’d also wait for it as Chris said, but probably afterwards you can test some things and then consider this in case of other restores: How fast can you copy files from the external drive to your VM? Take the external drive and connect natively to a physical machine (e.g. your laptop/workstation) - check the read speed there. If the latter is much faster you could install CE on a physical box for restores: import the backups from the external drive and try to restore from there and verify if the speed is better. When you identify the external HDD as the culprit you can consider going for a low end 1-bay/2-bay NAS and connect it via iSCSI to the VBR server.
This is connected on the ESXi host via USB (3.0 configuration) where the Veeam VM is located. And the file is being restored to another ESXi host on the same subnet. But that kind of slow? And this would take probably a month for the restoration to be completed.
