I am on a 100mb network. Trying to make my back ups faster. My hp

7 MB
per second per drive. What I thought I could do is assign a second
ip to
the other nic. Then go around and change half my host files so
that half
my servers would backup on the other ip, basically increase my
input to the
backup server. I did the experiment but networker is giving me a
connection
refused. The client recognises the fully qualified domain name and the
second ip. I am a windows environment. Is there any configuration
on the
networker server that needs to done.
Where do you intend to run that second network cable from? If you are
going to run that cable to your server's second NIC from the same
switch that already handles your server's network traffic on its
primary NIC, then your plan may not result in much of an improvement.
If that's the case, there are other options, but it can't hurt to try
your idea first.
