What kind of throughput is ARCserve reporting? Is it slow on local backups or just pulling across the network? Is compression enabled?

From: Tom Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 11:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Slow backups Hi Folks, I am running Arcserve on a dedicated Windows 2003 server with an attached LTO1 changer that holds 8 tapes. I am backing up about 15 servers which are a combination of Windows and Netware. Backups are taking longer than they should - seems like lots of "pausing" or waiting for response from the backup agents to push files. Looking for suggestions to troubleshoot/correct. All servers are on a gig backbone with gig cards (all set to auto on server and core switch). I am a few patches behind on Arcserve, but patching really doesn't address performance issues. Backups run during periods of light activity otherwise (evenings, as we are not at 24/7 shop). I know it's a stab in the dark at this point, but suggestions are appreciated.
