To calculate the speed of your backup jobs is still not a easy task within Data Protector, you need to monitor the session, to write down the start time, to write down the GB written and finally you need to calculate the speed. So, here are the good news, this is now automated. Just hold on! Was this article not already posted previously. Yes, you are right the old article can be found here: https://www.data-protector.org/wordpress/2012/07/omnispeed/. Because of the many changes in the new version a new article was created. To use the tool download and extract the version into the bin folder in omniback on your Windows cell server or on a client with installed GUI and execute it, thats it. If you are not running on Windows, please have a look at the help screen. Please keep in mind: the values displayed are the average throughput for the currently running sessions. What’s new? The current troughput for a currently running session is displayed. What else? See below.
[wpdm_file id=12]
In the new version backup jobs, copy&consolidation jobs and restore jobs are listed; with the parameter -c the listing will be continued until CTRL-C is pressed. With a given Session ID the troughput for historic sessions is displayed. If the given Session ID is a currently running session the current troughput per device is displayed. There are no changes to the limitations with different languages/locale, with no limitation the script will run on any german, english and french system – the final listing will be in English. For any other questions about locale (regional settings) please refer to the comments in help.
I look forward to further suggestions and hope you will enjoy the tool.
Hi, i downloaded the tool and installed it in the bin dir. When i try to run it i get the same message all over: ERROR: omnistat not found! Aborting … What am i doing wrong? Omnistat is located in the bin dir,so i dont get it why i keep getting these messages.
Hope to hear from you!
Regards,
Bob
Hi Bob,
it seems that the path variable is not set for DP. If you modify path to include omniback, then it will work.
Best regards

Hi Daniel,
thank you! I will try it today!

Does it not work with Replication?
Hi Vince,
it should work with replication… There will be a new version of omnispeed in a few days, you may recheck with this new release.
I’ll make sure I include replication in my test.
Best regards
Daniel
