Hi toasters!
I'm facing with very odd performance issue during the backup of snapshots. I have OmniBak Disk Agent instaled on HP-UX 11.0 and F740 DOT 6.0.1R3 when I start with backup procedure, the performances are as follow (sysstat 2):
CPU NFS CIFS HTTP Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache 21% 179 12 0 113 1061 2205 0 0 0 1 19% 207 8 0 167 1153 1132 0 0 0 1 21% 127 8 0 114 555 1473 868 0 0 1 17% 128 51 0 118 514 525 0 0 0 1 16% 114 15 0 124 319 353 0 0 0 1 16% 109 11 0 116 347 656 0 0 0 1 16% 123 5 0 127 308 369 0 0 0 1 20% 168 10 0 117 894 878 844 0 0 1 16% 115 5 0 143 331 543 0 0 0 1 16% 123 12 0 138 283 241 0 0 0 2 18% 147 9 0 131 623 1370 0 0 0 2 29% 364 7 0 183 2970 6333 0 0 0 2
As you can see, there is practicaly no network traffic. When I perform more load on Filer thrue HP server (such as tar or copy data on filer), the speed of writing on LTO is about 10 times faster:

Do you have any idea what is going on?

Assuming you are backing up to tape, how many and what type of tape drives are you writing to? We are mostly backing up to DLT's and they max out around 5555kB/s. I have never used OmniBak Disk Agent, but in NetBackup we increased the number of data streams to 4 so we can get about 80GB an hour.
