Is this on gigabit or 100 Base T? If it is gigabit, something is really slow. If it is 100 Base T, something is probably wrong with the calculation. You are getting 16MB/sec.
You may consider using virtual mount points if this is a Unix host. If it is a windows host, think about creating a number of share points with drive letters and back up those concurrently. If you already have a lot of mount points, think about increasing the resource utilization on the client. I have a SGI UNIX client that has about 7M files in one of its file systems. It is connected gigabit and runs a backup in about 5 hours. Usually, it only backs up about 15 GB per night in that file system. Hope this helps. Paul D.

I'm having a problem with this node dropping out a couple of times a night for being idle for more than 60 minutes too. We've double checked the NIC and switch port for the proper settings. When I looked at it last night the CPU wasn't doing anything. 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4952I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects inspected: 4,151,721 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4954I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects backed up: 12,222 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4958I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects updated: 0 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4960I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects rebound: 0 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4957I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects deleted: 0 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4970I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects expired: 386 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4959I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of objects failed: 0 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4961I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Total number of bytes transferred: 1.15 GB 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4963I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Data transfer time: 73.02 sec 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4966I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Network data transfer rate: 16,571.01 KB/sec 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4967I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Aggregate data transfer rate: 32.91 KB/sec 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4968I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Objects compressed by: 19%% 10/25/02 06:13:04 ANE4964I (Session: 3357, Node: CP-ITS-DCMECPD) Elapsed processing time: 10:12:51 Geoff Gill TSM Administrator NT Systems Support Engineer SAIC E-Mail: <mailto:gillg@;saic.com> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (858) 826-4062 Pager: (877) 905-7154
