Backing up servers is painfully slow
I'm running Backup Exec 7.01 on a DEC Alpha 2100, running NT 4.0, which is
backed up along with 3 additional servers running the Agent Accelerator.
The backup device is an Exabyte 210 with a Mammoth 8900 tape drive. 2 of
the 3 additional servers are running NWLink. The server running Backup Exec
is backed up at a rate of 110 MB per minute while the 3 additional servers
are backed up at a rate of 10 MB per minute. I removed NWLink from one of
the servers and this didn't impact the speed of backup at all. I also disabled
Norton AntiVirus thinking this may be effecting the speed of backups which
it didn't. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Backing up servers is painfully slow
Verify that Autonegotiate is turned off on all NICs and switch ports. I've sen
thoughputs of 2.5-5 MB/Min jump to 180-200 MB/min after hardsetting to 100/Full on
all interfaces.
