These are on a dedicated GIG-E network, only used for backup traffic and the tapes are SAN attached.

This means that traffic will be localised to the dedicated link and isolated from other backup traffic. I have seen these processes have adverse effects on the network due to the duration they run for.

Obviously, the EXPORT NODE TO SERVER will run a long time since then need ALL of the existing backups. However, the backups can't be stopped while this is occuring. What is the implications of an export/import going on and also performing backups to the new/target server at the same time ? Any suggestions on a better way to do this ? Also, to make it more complicated, this includes Notes Domino TDP backups. ---------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University Office of Technology Services University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: 804-828-4807 --- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
