Hi
How many FC adapter do you have in your Exchange client? Is the disk for
the client SAN connected?
If the disk is SAN connected, try using two HBA:s instead of one. Mixing
sequential writing with random reading is not a good idea.
I have had this kind of problem before, with a 3584 with 2
Maybe the best idee I heard untill now, If you're planning a major upgrade,
switch on collocation on your storagepool first and then run a selective
(full) backup of your system, this will bring the restore time down to the
time it takes to mount about 8 tapes and read them
(and switch
But I'm using version 4.2.1.9 on the server and fix 20 on the client, and still have
the problem.

Hi Rainer!
In our case the include/exclude file was located on a crashed disk they were

If this is an OFFSITE stgpool volume that has become eligible for

then it will attempt to retrieve the ACTIVE files on the reclaimable volume

It reads from the Primary Stgpool volume if the Offsite volume can not be

I am guessing that you are running 4.2.1.0. The problem you describe

I think the problem is backup_MB is integer.
So the result of backup_MB/1024 is defined to be integer.
I think you need to cast backup_MB to decimal BEFORE you divide it:
select SUM(cast(A2.backup_mb) as decimal(8,2))) /1024 as MB_Backup_WinNT
