Slow VTL backups using Veeam and Starwind VTL on Azure
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2021 9:39 pm
Hi,
I have a Veeam B&R Infrastructure on premisses. I deployed an Azure VM with 8 vCPUs, 16 GB Memory and Premium SSD disks and installed Starwind VTL for evaluation porpuses.I have a 200 Mbps dedicated Azure ExpressRoute connection between my Datacenter and my Azure Infrastructure.
I am experiencing performance problems when trying to write VTL Tapes using Veeam. The tape writing rates never go beyond 11 MB/s.
On some tests, I transmit data directly from my on premisses Veeam Repository, and on other tests, I create a Veeam Backup Copy to a local disk on my Starwind VTL VM on Azure, but the performance bootleneck is always the target (the tape drive).
Could someone help me to improve the write performance?
