Hello,
I have some issue with restoring sql DB to another VM, the issue is that it take to long sometimes almost 1 day for 2.9TB. The sql back used 4 stream and using 5 streams for restore. Hier are some logs for the restore which still running
Any idee why its taking so long?
Good afternoon. While it is hard to get the full picture from the limited log cuts provided, one thing that stands out are the very slow media read speeds. This is the speed which the data is able to be read from the source disk:

Can you please run the disk performance tool against the source disk and provide the results:

And now is the restore job running and when i take a look to network perf, that is kind low i guess,
And on MA:

On the MediaAgent processing the job, you will see a log called CvPerfMgr.log. If you open that in GXtail, and hit F5, do you can filter for the ID of the backup. Do you see that job in that log?
Hello
There is certainly no limitation on the SQL side write speeds are fast does still appear to be MA related

On the disk perf test you performed its showing “ Creating folder d:\database\DISK_READ_TEST “
Is that the same location as where the data is being pulled on the restore? The logs are showing:
/disklibrary/0702/U4FG3A_Folder1/CV_MAGNETIC
/disklibrary/071d/Q42X9S_03.25.2022_13.54/CV_MAGNETIC

That tool should be ran on the MA(s)
