avamar slow vmdk backups using proxy
Hello we have been having an issue i hope someone can help me with. I have attached the log file for one of our backups to this post so that you can view it to help me understand the issue. We have cbt enabled in our environment and i have a 6.0.101-66 proxy setup for this machine that is in the log. I am not sure if it is normal or not to have a log file this size and with so many entries? I am reading posts where people are praising avamar for its speed and in our situation we think it is so slow. We are LUCKY to get 100 gb/hr out of avamar per machine (we see 4 gb/hr sometimes per vm). we are running about 60 vms that get backed up by avamar daily. We have 10 proxies installed and have a 6 active nodes for avamar in our grid. we have 4 esx hosts running the vms and the proxies with PLENTY of resources to spare.

There will be two hotfixes, both Avamar. One fix will be for the Avamar Administrator Server, one fix will be for the image proxy.

Please send me a private message with the SR numbers and I can look into the case history. You can send me a PM from my profile.

I would recommend opening a support case for this issue. I took a quick look through the logs and didn't find anything obvious.
Also, please be aware of the following technical advisory that applies to all clients using Change Block Tracking:
ETA esg127567: Avamar Client for VMware, Avamar Server: VMware image backups created with change block tracking (CBT) enabled might not be able to be restored
Until the fix is available, EMC is recommending that all customers disable CBT.
