Yes, the QUIET option can significantly improve performance, especially when
running the client interactively (as opposed to as a service).

This option does the following:

     - Suppresses all output to the screen and eliminates polling the keyboard
for keys during lengthy operations.

     -  Eliminates writing to the schedule log.

     -   Always waits for off-line media mounts from the server.

For NT, the best possible performance is achieved by running the client
scheduler service with the QUIET option turned on.

Since the service is non-interactive the only downside to using QUIET is the
suppression of schedule log output.

Hope this helps ....

Subject: QUIET versus Verbose and Performance


Has anyone experimented with the Quiet and Verbose options and determined
if specifying Quiet improves performance during a scheduled backup?  I'm
thinking of trying this on our Windows NT clients.  I'm thinking if ADSM
wasn't writing to the DSMSCHED.LOG file at the same time it's backing up
the disk where DSMSCHED.LOG resides it might help performance. Any
thoughts?


Thanks,
