Using Vista Ultimate 64bit
We have created a bat file that performs multiple XCOPY commands to copy
various files all over the network from key servers and workstations to the
local machine into a PGP encrypted drive, drive letter V.
So a typcical command might be something like:
XCOPY \\Server_Name\share name\special folder\*.* V:\Special Folder
or
XCOPY \\Server_Name\c$\another folder\*.* V:\Another Folder
The local machine has a user logged in as a Domain Admin
The network connection is 1gbit
We have tried this bat file many different ways.
1) Manual Backup - by that I mean double clicking the bat file to run,
sometimes is done and backs up everything in 8 minutes.
2) Scheduled Backup - task scheduler as domain admin DOMAIN\Admin Name
running with as high a priv as possible - everything backs up in 21 minutes
Same scenarios, manual backup runs in 20 minutes, sometimes the scheduled is
40 minutes
The local machine is running AV software - CA etrust - which also runs on an
XP machine that does not display this speed behavior.
The local machine is running Diskeeper 2009 - I do not know if this matters,
since the benchmarks are so different in each test.
I know VIsta now does indexing of files for searching, could this be
creating an issue?
We have tried different switch ports, different network cables, verified the
gbit.
Any other suggestions I could be looking at?
Thanks
