Hi again,

        thanks for the quick replies.

@ Steve: Of course the number of DLEs is not what possibly makes things
slower, but the amount of data thas has to be transferred to the tape
server. And that will significantly improve when I go from 2 DLEs setup
to 'real' backup, that's what I meant.

Thanks again,
        Ralf
