Hi All,
I have a concern over my free edition of UEB (I have registered on their forums, but for some reason it was a pointless exercise, i am not allowed to post or reply to posts - so i am posting my query here in the hope someone from Unitrends is able to see and assist me here.
The whole reason i got UEB was to backup my live machines on my lab ESXi system, only 2 are important to me but i do backup 4 (my license limit) - so far no problems, everything works well, i get nightly reports and very little if any failures (at least not from the backup - i have made a whoops once or twice though).
My System
I have 3 HP Microservers N40L 16GB (I know they are not greatly powerful but they suit my needs)
2 Netgear Readynas Ultra 6
TP-Link 24 port Gigabit switch
Each Micro has 4 ports connected and the NAS both have 2 connected
My backup method;
Incremental forever - total to backup is 205gb
My issue
Is not bandwidth, is not space, is not memory... It is constant CPU from UEB
I first thought this was because a job was running in the background, but it has been almost 100% CPU for nearly 2 weeks now. Now i know the AMD CPU in the Micros are DC 1.5Ghz and are no match for a real CPU but 100%... all the time - really?
When it is at 100% it is usually postgres: postgres bpdb that is eating it
I have it alloctaed it 2 vCPU so 3Ghz total
It would make sense if it was synthesizing, but it only shows as above and i don't know why it is doing this almost all the time - perhaps i am missing something obvious here.
I am happy to switch to other backup methods if they will stop the high cpu, however i would like incremental still if i can.
As i said above this is Lab/live, i am happy if i need to, stop using UEB and just go back to file level backup from the guest directly, that said i do like UEB so far, i just would rather backup my systems without killing resources to do so.
Any ideas?
