Storage Pool of two media agents with DAS storage is slower than each MA separately

Hi,

I created Storage Pool form two Media Agents with DAS storage, DataServer-IP transport is used to access partner MA storage. DDB has 2 partitions, one per server.
I did DB restore tests, using 2 streams and got results around 900 GB/h per stream.
But if I create Storage pool using only one MA restores are faster, around 1250 GB/h per stream.
Do you have any ideas, why DataServer-IP slows down restore process? In my understanding it should be opposite.

I’d say this is expected.

You data transfer is going from MA1 → MA2 → Client with Dataserver-IP (assuming MA2 is the chosen Media Agent for the restore) - there is an extra hop vs direct access to the storage.

Deduplication databases are irrelevant for restore (they are only used for backup and data aging).
