Hi, Thanks, your backup settings are similar to mine. I will keep this in mind.
What prompted you to increase the settings in sysctl.conf? Was it problems similar to mine? Or prior knowledge/documents?

We do that backup via separate network segment with GBit-Ethernet. This has to be changed then of course on the backup server too and the interfaces have to be reinitialized (/etc/init.d/network restart). Greetz, SIEGENIA-AUBI KG Informationswesen i.A.
