This video contains instructions on how to increase the number of available replication threads on an AhsayCBS backup server to improve the overall replication speed.
Before proceeding to the steps, the following assumptions are made:
- AhsayCBS v9.1.x or above is installed.
- AhsayCBS Java heap size setting matches the number of concurrent replication threads.
- Rule of thumb: twice as many replication threads will utilize twice the amount of Java memory.
- Increase Java heap size setting before using a higher replication thread setting.
- %CBS_INSTALL_PATH%
- Windows: C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS
- Linux/Unix: /usr/local/cbs
- AhsayUBS: /ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr
To proceed, follow the steps below:
com.ahsay.cbs.obs.config.Index.RepMaxThreads=true
- Shutdown the AhsayCBS service.
- Using a text editor, open the %CBS_INSTALL_PATH%/conf/cbs.opt file.
- Add the following setting to the end of the file and save:
- Restart the AhsayCBS service.
- Login to the AhsayCBS web management console.
- Under Replication, select Sending Data.
- Enable Replicate backup up data to another server or predefined cloud storage.
- At the bottom, click the drop-down menu of the "No. of backup sets to replicate concurrently" and select the number of replication threads you wish to configure.
