Hi Ruud, to which storagepools do you move your data (disk, tape)?
Your FS backup gives you the network data transfer rate, whereas the DB backup gives you a number including network data transfer rate, tape mount/unmount times etc. Do a QUERY NODE nodename F=D and you will see what the session is waiting for Pct. Idle Wait Last Session: 3.33 Pct. Comm. Wait Last Session: 0.00 Pct. Media Wait Last Session: 0.00 Kind regards Thomas Rupp Vorarlberger Illwerke AG -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Van Ruler, Ruud R SITI-ITDGE41 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.
