Hi TSMers, We recently switched from Seagate Backupexec to TDP for Exchange. Backup and restore with Backupexec of our 25G Exchange database took about 3 hours. With TDP for Exchange, backup takes 1 hour and restore takes 3 hours. We are happy with the faster backup but are wondering why restore is 3 times longer. Granted that writing to RAID5 is slower than reading from it, but can it be 3 times slower? Is this normal? Support told me to try several TCP options in the server and client, but they don't make a difference. Then he suggested that the problem must be in our network - but going one way and not the other???? server: tcpwindowsize=63 tcpbufsize=31 client: tcpwindowsize=63 tcpbufsize=31 tcpnodelay=yes largecommbuffer=yes server: TSM 4.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3 client: TDP for Exchange 1.1.1.01 on NT 4.0 SP4 Thanks in advance.
