@scottalanmiller i found that there was some hourly backup was running .. it that causing the issue...
That could easily do it, especially if it is not able to complete within the hour window and has overlapping backup jobs.
-
@scottalanmiller correct i stopped the backup process and changed it to daily 2200 HRS backup.. uff thanks scott...

Did that fix the IOWait issue? sar should show it going down in a few minutes.
-
@scottalanmiller
yes
-
Awesome, that was easier than I was guessing that it was going to be.
-
thanks @scottalanmiller
-
Glad that we were able to track that down easily

-

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
