Are you able to zip up the files perhaps? I suspect the problem is reading the huge number of small files in order to decide whether they require a backup. Perhaps Journaling may help here .. although I have no personal experience of this..
Also.. check network performance (switch and card set to auto auto)? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boileau, Chantal Sent: 14 September 2005 16:23 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Backup windows File server Hye We have a windows 2003 SP1 files server that contain 7 000 000 files of a capacity of 300 GB.
