Top Nodes with Fastest/Slowest Backup Throughputs Report - Report Benefits

The Top Nodes with Fastest/Slowest Backup Throughputs Report is helpful in analyzing and determining which nodes are more effective than others for backup jobs, and which ones could be potential problem areas. Generally from this report, you would focus your attention on the nodes with the slowest throughput values and try to determine why this is occurring. Perhaps it is a network problem, or a slow drive, or the type of backup job being performed. Look for patterns in behavior among the slower nodes.

You can also use the fastest throughput values as reference points to analyze why these nodes are performing well. You can compare the slower nodes to the faster nodes to determine if you actually have a problem or if both sets of values are similar, maybe the slower nodes are not performing poorly. It is important to analyze the results from all fields of this report when attempting to determine problem nodes.

For example, if you only focus on the slowest performing nodes (lowest throughput value), it may be false indication of a problem area because you also need to analyze the amount of data being moved or the type of backup being performed.
