VBA-DD-Cloning

Hi,

we migrated our environment from the VADP method to the new VBA method after upgrading to the latest version of Networker 8.1.1 and upgraded our DD620 to 5.4.0.8.

We used to have a full-inc-inc... setup but with the new method it's always a full. That's not a real problem, backup is very fast to the primary DD and we're getting a high dedup ratio but cloning is taking a real long time now. Looks like it's trying to clone the full backup again and again so going through the whole full backup and comparing the hashes with the remote DD. Is there any way to speed up this process and do the requirements of the line between the two DD's change with this VBA method?

Regards,

John

I'm having the same issue as well and would like to know when a solution for this issue is released, either for the DD or Networker.

The patch is available from June 2015,

You need to have NW 8.2.1.5 at least

VBA 1,1,1,50

I have DDOS 5.5.2.1 on all DD not sure if it is reuqired

First of all you have to run full backup and full clone in policy, than it should start to work, but still from time to time some SS are clonned in full mode, it is necessary to check dd and VBA logs to see if it is working or not... If you are  not sure...

Hi you all,

We are having the same problem.

  NW  8.2.2.4

  VBA 1.1.1.50

  DD 5.5.2.2

For example:

- VBA backup of 15TB = 3 hours.

- Cloning this Group to the other DD = 20hours

¿Is there any news about this issue?
