i have a 2k box that starts out ok and slows down to sun 100k/sec...  it turned 
out to be a dir with tons of small files...  i excluded the dir and the backup 
of 2gb of data that was taking 18hours is now a few min...  good thing it was a 
dir of log files that arent required to be backed up...

I searched the archives, but couldn't find an answer to this. I'm sure
someone else must have gone through this, tho.

We're running NB4.5_FP6 on a Sun Ultra-250. I just installed the
W2K3_FP6 client on a W2K3 system, but the backups are *extremely* slow.
They start out as 5Mb/sec, but within a couple hours, it's slowed down
to a paltry 50Kb/sec or less according to the detailed status. After 16
hours, it's only at 3,000 files and about 4.5Gb of backed up data. At
the rate it's going, a full backup (+/- 60Gb) will take *weeks*, not
hours.

I am backing up the System_State and one of the drives, with a few
excludes on the drive.

The server itself doesn't seem to be overloaded, no processes are really
that dominant, and the load is under .25 for the most part. I suspect it
might be a config issue beyond the default settings in the Win box, but
I have yet to find anything to outline better settings or things to try.

Any help/answers/clues would be *greatly* appreciated!!! Thanks in
advance!
