This program comes bundled in the downloads of firmware upgrades from Dell. Go to support.dell.com and use the form to get to TL2000 updates or: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&releaseid=R266766&SystemID=PWV_TL2000&servicetag=&os=LIN4&osl=en&deviceid=14489&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=10&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=37&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=393643 There is also a WEB interface built in the TL2000 that can be turned on. Also keep in mind that your Dell TL2000 may show up as IBM Model ULT3580-TD4, mine does because it was made by IBM for Dell. My settings are like yours below except I don't have any of the lines below Autoselect. I have Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 but each client is set to 1.. All my servers have at least 2 ethernet ports and I use one on each server set to a static ip in the 192.168.0.x domain, all of which are connected to a gigabit switch not on the network and the backup server is also connected to this switch. I only do one server backup at a time though. hth Thomas On Sunday 23 May 2010 21:22:11 skipunk wrote: > Janusz > > Both nics reported back at 100 Mb/s > I'm beginning to think the network is the bottleneck. > > I ran a backup on my server with bacula. backing up the file I have been > using.
