I have two Dell 8920 Workstations running Windows 10 Pro for Workstations. One system can be dual booted with Windows Server 2019.
Both systems have a separate G: drive consisting of a Samsung 970 Pro 954gb SSD for Hyper-V Linux Systems testing and backup.
I use robocopy to backup the SSD, using the command:
ROBOCOPY /MT:1 /MIR /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:G:\files.log /NP /NDL \\Robin\g\HyperV-Exported-Systems \\Eagle\g\HyperV-Exported-Systems
For several months I have been backing up the Hyper-V systems from the Robin system to the Eagle system and was getting an average speed of 3190 MB/s
Recently I started booting the Eagle system to running Windows Server 2019 and I noticed that I was getting an average speed of 2333 MB/s when I ran the identical backup. That's a big difference!
Confused over the speed difference, I ran CrystalDiskMark 6.0 and got almost identical results of 3500MB/s read and 2700MB/s write on the SSD on both systems.
So why do get 3190 MB/s when I backup to a Windows 10 system and only 2333 MB/s when going to a Windows Server 2019 system? I would have expected identical results, perhaps a little faster on the Windows Server 2019.
