Being a confirmed Netserver guy I reckon it's your raid hardware. I had a similar thing where the server would run fine all day but die as soon as the backup hit it. I was running a Rackstore 12 on a Netraid 3Si and it turned out to be the netraid 3Si was dying when the data throughput became high and constant, i.e. during the backup. Happy hunting

There are several utils to test HP servers, use one to test your server. I have seen one HP netserver which was behaving badly, turned out to be bad RAM. By now that box has been almost completely renewed. Only the PSU and case or original.. B.
