Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Console does not show job details for all tasks anymore

@pirx - I'm sure you've set this already, but if the SQL server is virtualized, check what controller is used on your VM. I found *significant* performance improvements changing the SCSI controller from LSI Logic SAS to a VMware Paravirtual.


I also ensured my Veeam DB was on a disk on its own SCSI controller, and the temp DBs on a disk on a different SCSI controller.

Essentially we were seeing so many queries that couldn't complete (perhaps improperly optimized Veeam queries) that our disk IO was through the roof, and even though our storage was great, it didn't matter and performance suffered. Switching the controllers to VMware Paravirtual made a HUGE difference, and after a few hours on the new controllers, the IO load dropped down to reasonable levels (the queries were able to complete and we were in good shape again). If you do switch, make sure you add a new VMware Paravirtual controller first to ensure your OS has the drivers, then you can change the other controllers after the fact.

As said, you've probably already done that, but I thought I'd throw that out there just in case.
