Yiannakis One thought... you should send the meta data to a disk only storage pool. These meta data objects are always very small (less than 100K)... and to put them to a tape is not good for performance. You do that by binding the meta objects to a management class that points to a disk only stor

David, There are many factors that could slow a backup down. You should by trying to find out if this is a slow-down in the network, TSM Server, tape mount wait, SQL Server, etc. If you happen to be running Windows 2000 SP4, there is a known problem that causes SQL Server backups to slow down and
