Hello!
Some days ago i wrote that we solved a problem, but now it appeared again.

In short: if we try to make a selection on a server this lasts very long (now more than 45 minutes), we see only the spinning wheel. Also the backup jobs run very long. Maybe it's interessting that a full backup takes not much more time than an incremental backup.
We did some further investigation. On our site we have a RODC (Read Only Domaincontroller, it's not the server with backup exec). When we power off this RODC the selection lists appear much faster (after a few seconds), also the incremental backups are much faster (1 hour instead of sometimes 18 hours). If we power it on and restart the backupexec server it's the same as before. Also a restore of a small file takes hours.
I made some debug-logs. This is when we select a server, go to the backup button and then wait until the selection list appears (and the spinning wheel disappears).
The first: Working_bexlog201404281704.txt shows when it is ok (then the RODC is powered off). The selection list appears after a few seconds.
The second: Working_bexlog201404281704.txt shows when it is not ok (then the RODC is powered on). Then it lasts 45 minutes until the selection list appears.
Are there any known issues with a RODC and Backup Exec or what else can be the problem? We run our Backup Exec 2012 (with all Servicepacks) on a Windows Server 2008 R2. The Servers we want to backup are on VMware ESXi 5.5. But the problem also exists if we try to backup a not vmware-server.
Best regards!
