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, Daniel
When I try use this script for historic session I see this message:
E:\omni>omnispeed.exe -s 2013/01/24-4 -c
Get details for historic session: 2013/01/24-4
Calculating average(s), please wait …Illegal division by zero at E:\omni\omnispeed.exe line 778.
I use DP 7.0 with DPWINBDL_00701, platform MS Windows 2008R2 x64
Any idea?
Regards,
Yack
Hi Yack, can you reproduce the problem? What are your local settings? English?
Best regards

Hi Daniel,
Have seen the same “devide by zero” problem, with a object copy session.
You can trigger the problem by using omnispeed with a session that didn’t backup anything, e.g. 0 MB.
Hi Yack,
thanks for supporting the tool; I will provide a fix very soon.
Best regards
Daniel
I try at two DP system, I try change local settings and date form, and I always see same message.
Your tools are very useful, thanks.

Nice one! Do you plan a more graphical Version e.g. a coninuous Graph?
Hi Benno,
nice idea… Maybe I’ll do this in a new version of omnispeed but for DP 8.00 and higher.
Best regards
Daniel
