Hi Akash We have found if you are using 100mb network for example you have to ensure that all interfaces are set to the same speed etc eg:
Host 100mb/Full switch port 100mb/Full and backup server 100mb/Full Hope this helps Cheers Mark -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Akash Jain Sent: Thursday, 14 July 2005 2:01 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Backup Hi all, I am in very strange situation where my Oracle backup sometimes completes in 1 hour and sometimes it took only 16 minutes for same data. On scrutinising the logs, it has been observed that it's the matter of network performance. Sometimes I am getting a speed of 1206kb/ps (data took 1 hour to backed up) and at 4506kb/ps completes in 16 minutes. I am assuming this is the network issue and to be checked by networking guys. Does anyone have faces this problem or any ideas about the same? AIX - 4.3.3.11 Data - Oracle Files Backup Software : TSM Regards Akash Jain
