You'd need to give us more information, such as client dsmerror.log entries at the time, and any server Activity Log entries. It may be that your server has minimal timeout values for waiting for the client to respond. The topic "Backup performance" in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts summarizes backup performance issues we've seen in the past. Richard Sims
