Data Recovery Challenges with Quest Recovery Manager on an Intel i5 Laptop

Hi Quest Community,

I’ve been using Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory to restore some critical files after an accidental deletion, but I’m experiencing performance issues while running the recovery operations on my Intel i5 laptop. I’m hoping to get some advice or suggestions from those who’ve encountered similar scenarios.

Issues Faced:

  1. Slow Restoration Process: When recovering large datasets, the process seems to take significantly longer than expected, especially with compressed backups.
  2. High Memory Usage: The application consumes almost all available RAM during recovery operations, causing the laptop to slow down.
  3. Frequent Timeout Errors: The recovery process sometimes fails, displaying timeout errors when connecting to the backup repository.

Steps I’ve Taken:

  • Increased the laptop’s virtual memory settings.
  • Ensured the backup repository is accessible and free from network issues.
  • Ran the recovery operation during off-peak hours to minimize network load.

I’d appreciate any suggestions, insights, or shared experiences from the community that could help me resolve these challenges and make better use of Quest Recovery Manager.

Thanks in advance for your support!

  • The app is supposed to be run on a server class machine using a server class operating system.

    The System Requirements recommend a minimum of 8 GB of available RAM and 4 processors cores.

    Also, do you have the backup agents deployed to your domain controllers?  This would offload much of the work from your "console" machine
