Ok, I just got tasked by my senior colleague with the following scenario:
Currently, there are 2 servers with 2 TB of data each and this data is being backed up 1x a week. It takes 3 full days for the backups to finish. They are backing up to disk on a central server across a 1 GB connection.
How can we make it so it takes less than a day?
It's possible to replace the connections with something faster.
We're using Backup Exec.
What would you do to optimize this?
