Title
NetVault Backup 10 upgrade from 9.2 taking a long time -
Description
NetVault Backup 10 upgrade from 9.2 taking a long time. -
Cause
The migration process from the proprietary NetVault Backup 9.2 database to the PostreSQL database is what is taking so long to complete.
Upgrade to NetVault Backup Server 10.x from 9.2 involves the migration of NetVault Database from proprietary format to the PostgreSQL database. The data migration can take a significant amount of time depending on the size of your NetVault Database and other factors such as system performance.
-
Resolution
Before upgrading from NetVault Backup 9.2, purging unnecessary logs can significantly reduce the database migration time. For more information about purging log files, refer to the NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide.
