There is a way to do what you want, but I would question the necessecity. We have a handful of file servers with over 1 million files each, and on average they take about 45min to backup (~2.5GB/day). If you only have a # of files in the thousands, and it's taking a long time, then I suspect something is wrong. Would it be possible to collect some information about the situation?
Netware version? - TSA's version? - Server hardware (cpu/disk/memory/nic)? - Total # of files being scanned? - Backup sesssion stats (total time taken/network rate/aggregate rate)? - Paste in the contents of dsm.opt? - >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/29/2005 11:37:50 AM >>> Hi Everybody, Is there a way to schedule multiple Novell backups to run simultaneously for one node ? We are having trouble with our backups completing in a timely manner as we have thousand of files which are being scanned for backup. What we would like to do is have the volume on the node split out and backed up through multiple sessions simultaneously. Is this possible ?
