Speedup Slow SMB Mounted devices on Windows

We described in another article how to make a network mount available to P5 on Windows, that was here: https://support.archiware.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/182/0/how-to-back-up-a-network-drive-on-windows When reading from a NAS via Archive, Backup or Synchronize via SMB from Windows, there is a pitfall: Windows doe not have a ctime attribute in the sense of that it shows modifications to the file attributes like Unix systems have. So on Windows, P5 emulates a ctime attribute, maintained in an alternate data fork, that is written when the file's archive-bit is set. This has two side effects in case the mounted file system itself is not a Windows NTFS system:
To do so, edit the file C:\Program Files\ARCHIWARE\Data_Lifecycle_Management_Suite\config\lexxsrv.8000 and add the following lines to turn off the ctime emulation: ns_section ns/winSupport ns_param emulateCtime false also, to turn off the comparison of ctime attributes during incremental backup, add ns_section ns/server/$server/module/LookupSelection ns_param testInodeChangeTime false In Syncronize Plan, turn off Additional Options -> Expert Setting -> Compare ... files by examining -> Owner and/or protection changes. | |
