After upgrading to 7.5.0.6 i started noticing a "SLP_Multiple_Lifecycle" job kick off that usually contains around 50 - 100 images and takes forever to replicate offsite. I have 6 slps (3 for production, 3 for model (monthly, weekly, daily)) that have been inplace since I setup the system 4 years ago and they have always kicked off in a pretty decent time frame. Usually directly after a collection of jobs run.
Now with this multiple lifecycle it contains client that backed up 12 hours earlier and it kicks off directly after my catalog backup around 8:15am every day (catalog starts at 8am)??? Then the policy will run for almost 5 hours on most days transferring 2gb with speeds lingering around 78kb. The WAN link is a 200mb line and i have seen 5 and 6 gigs of data transfer within 30 minutes on other replication jobs from the same evening.
The majority of the images are from sql jobs but standard file server backups are mixed in as well. I thought this could be caused because the clients were running 7.5.0.6 but i have rolled back several of them and they still are replicating inside of the multiple lifecycle job.
I've been trying to figure this out for several months now and i just cant make any connection as to why these images wait so long before replicating and why they run so slow.
