Use the NET_BUFFER_SZ file to speed up a slow restore
If file restores are slow and your NetBackup master server is a UNIX machine, you can increase file restore speeds. Create a file that is called NET_BUFFER_SZ on the NetBackup master server in the NetBackup install directory.
To create the NET_BUFFER_SZ file
- Log into a UNIX master server.
- Use vi(1) or another editor to create file /usr/openv/netbackup/NET_BUFFER_SZ.
- Add a line that specifies the socket size, in bytes.
For example:
32768 bytes = 32K
- Save and close the file.
