Dan,
Thanks for sharing your observation, and also for the nice detail. I
think we may be seeing something like this. We just had a user
(today!) tell us that their backup was pausing for long periods (e.g.,
an hour), for no apparent reason. Just a day or two ago, we started
backing up a mail server with half a million files. Now I am wondering
if the "Expiring -->" activity on this mail server may be causing
performance problems for other backups. (I know this is a stretch)
We do not run SMP. We are on a 41T running 2.1.0.7. So, what we are seeing
may not be related at all to your problem. But then again....
..Paul
