Restore times highly variable

  • Each night I have a job which restores a database, this database is roughly the same size (around 50gb). But over the last two weeks which I have been monitoring it the run duration has varied from 3 hrs 22 minutes to 7 hrs 25 minutes. None of the steps have failed. Please help

  • After ruling out other jobs or processes running on the server, check to see if there are any bad disks on the server. I ran into a similar problem and found out one of the disks in the array had failed. Everything was better after it was replaced.

  • Agreed. Something has either changed, failed or a competing process is running. I do similar nightly and my systems variance is under five minutes for the most part.

  • I noticed a similar restore experience. My restore could vary by a factor of 3x. It was caused by the load on the tape silo and the load on the backup network. It was quite random, depending on what else was happening.
