Would anyone like to share experience of 'wtbackup' ?

We areusing version 3.2 andare currently doing full vault backups every night, but it is taking a very long timefor a relatively small amount of data.

I will have to switch to incremental backups but would like to understand the cause of the slow performance.

Hi



I've been using WTBackup on my laptop a couple of development servers as
well as a couple of production servers. It works very well.



One of the reasons the backup might be slow is the time it takes to
create the zip file at the end. If you are doing a full vault backup
and creating a zip file of it, it will be slow. I would rather suggest
not backup up the vaults. The vaults should be backed up using the
normal file system backup (tape drive) as it is usually a large amount
of data. It could also be that you are not using vaults and all the
data is sitting in the database BLOB.







Thank you and kind regards

Johan Strydom
