RN314 locking on large backup jobs
I have been trying to backup one of the shares on my RN314 for the past 2 weeks and the box gets compleatly locked up when ever I try. OS verson: 6.4.1 Drive setup: (4) 1Tb Drives (Raid 5) Shar...
Okay, so far my issue looks like in only involves backup jobs that are copying data from the RN314 to a share on a windows computer. This back up is useing the windows time stamp method of copying files. It is painfully slow. on the windows PC I could see files getting copied one at a time at a rate of 200Kbps to 400Kbps. This share is over 1.2 Tb and it would take forever to copy at this rate.
I have since disabled that backup job for now and I am running my Rsync backups that start at one of my windows servers and stores the data on the RN314. These backup jobs run at 12-15MBps. This is a resoanbly speed for backups between to computers.
I generally use robocopy scripts (running on the PC of course) when backing up NAS shares to windows disks. There are a couple of ways to schedule them.
That might be another approach that might run faster.
It looks like disabling the A/V did the trick. I am about 70% through on a 1.2Tb backup running at about 2Mb/sec. Ref Case# 26148385
The Netgear A/V software scans all file access reads before they get transfered. This bogs down the RN314 OS and makes the divice slow and inaccessable. The strange thing is the Rsync backups are not effected by this. This leads me to beleave that the A/V scanner does not scan file access via Rsync protocall only SMB/CIFS, AFP, NSF or HTTP.
Some feed back from the developers might be helpfull to stream line file access while manageing local and remote backups.
