Glad that we were able to track that down easily

What backup system are you using? or script for that matter.

And how much is being backed up? Might be too much.
-

That's not very much. That should take no time at all. Any idea why it is so slow?
-
@nagendra Okay but what backup are you using? 2 GB per hour is not that bad what we might need to know is the underlying storage and hardware.

And what tool are you using for the backups? Veeam Endpoint? R&R?
-

Understood.
-
@nagendra Okay are you using any of this?
https://github.com/lucascbeyeler/zmbackup
https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Open_Source_Edition_Backup_ProcedureI use the first link with a slightly modified backup of the mailboxes deleted items since the hot backup doesn't backup those folders (This is the opensource version).
-
@dbeato ohh thanks for the tools i will give a try..
-
If this is a VM server you can also use LVM for snapshots.
-
@dbeato yes its VM .. LVM Snapshot ?? i have option but havent tried it... can we scheduled the backup
-
@nagendra LVM Snapshot are what Volume Shadow Copies are for Windows in Linux. Did you setup your Linux server with an LVM volume?
-
@dbeato yes
-
@nagendra Take a look at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm
https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Open_Source_Edition_Backup_Procedure
They both provide LVM backups examples

Is a snap going to be better than a direct grab in this case? File grab, compress, send... might be the simplest thing.
-
@reid-cooper Yeah, there are couple of options
