Thank you Stefan, That could at least explain the rather long time that Cringer did mention. So probably nothing wrong with disks and so. Bit weird though that Priority is already 3 (checked the export xml) Actually the daily backup IS a kind of low priority process and should not slow down...

hmm the 90 min were wrong (wishful thinking), usual duration is 160 min :( so i started a backup after removing the last one, but so far it won't make a big difference around 20 k Blocks/10sec @ 176 M Blocks total -> 135 min Disk transfer rate is oscillating, but maxes at about 125 MB/s so i'm...

Yes I do so and i will consider... Great hint, thank you

This discussion was very insightful so far, i'm armed with arguments for the upcoming discussion with the manufacturer. As we pay him, we will demand him to provide a solution. I'll probably will invest in a few hours of progress bootcamp follow up. Had 15 hours last year and made substantial...

sorry i mean we do have read-only direct access to the db (circumventing the application). we use it for odbc connections but we have no means of writing to the db except through the actual application and it's dedicated processes. All of them come with a license fee. So it's on the one hand...

Concerning growth, i would reason: delete 30-40% of total data (acquired more than 10yrs...

Hello, Old Version was 10.2B (sorry) Daily full backup takes 90 min (online) WIN19,130GB RAM, 12*2 cores at 3 Mhz , VMWare7.1 (no system expert though) I keep an "archive instance" of db and Application on a dedicated server with all data from day one to end of 2023. However data retention...

Hi everyone, Great food for thought, thank y'all. I really appreciate your expertise and willingness to help Size and number of extents are up to date, reflecting the application structure and following manufacturers guidelines during last major upgrade to 10.7 Purging is done by means of the...

Thank you, didn´t know that about idxbuild and RF
