Virus software takes a lot of memory and can really slow things down if it is checking the system at the time of the backup.

I did this manually and opened 12 sessions (6 seperate backups). We had MacAfee running and are thinking that the combination of the two caused the Netware Client to reboot. It has a 100 MB card and I was trying to backup as fast as possible for a restore to a different box. The total of 88 GB was need to be backed up so that it could restore. I thought I could open as many sessions as I wanted since I was going straight to disk and then I would have done the same on the restore. Is there a known limitation on the client for open sessions according to the size of the box or otherwise? Would the backup have caused even remotely the Netware client to reboot? And for future use is there anyway of telling how many sessions to open on any box? Some guidelines or other? Thank you in advance.
