Using the GOS Data Migration tool
 

Good afternoon lads n lasses.

We have a Snap Server N2000, quite a new job. I'm in the process of copying data over to the NAS from a windows server using the data migration tool (preserving access rights etc). All is well and good, but it only copies data at a rate of between 1.4-2.4gb p/hr. This isn't really quick enough and wondered if anyone here has found any methods of speeding the process up, or if there's any obvious issues, or if this is the expected transfer rate? Or, if there is a quicker method available?

Grateful for any help or advice,

Ian

The migration tool in the new GOS 6.5 installed onto a Snap Server 410 isn't faster also.

Its much faster to copy the files with the superflexible.com tool ..

I get full Gb LAN speeds on all my units with data migration, snap to snap.

Hi Phoenix32

how did you have configured the LAN ports?

May be the bottleneck is the configuration of the port(s)..

Thanks for your help guys. I guess it'd be useful to know how much throughput we should have. Problem is it's a live server, but still. Overland suggested using network teaming and/or crossover cables, but not sure what effect they would have.

Teaming is using an additional port to double the bandwidth. But it requires a fairly highend switch to utilize it. The crossover cable would give it a direct coupling (no switch) to slow it down. But if your unit is busy and/or is low on ram can cause your slower rates. V5 needs a min of 1gig, and if you have a lot of used maxing it out would be beneficial. I noticed that once you go to 1.5gig the units sets up a ram disk to speed things up.
