Hi

I'm going to be satisfying my curiosity on backing up to CIFS and NFS using 
NetWorker.  I've read the NetWorker documentation, so know how to configure it 
and what is/isn't supported.

But what are the hints-and-kinks I won't read in the manual?  What about 
performance?  Are there NFS/CIFS tuning knobs I should know about?  What about 
jumbo frames (good/bad/does NetWorker just use them)?

For that matter, I've searched for a good primer/introduction on NFS and CIFS, 
as a backup person would want to know it.  Got a favorite, or even a reasonable 
one?

Many thanks!
