Bobby,
 
Try any or all of the below:
 
1. For each CPU in the host you're backing up change the default value
in TSA.CFG from
 
Read Thread Per Job: 4 to
 
Read Thread Per Job: "x" (where "x" = 4 * # CPU's in the system)
 
2. Consider lowering the NSS Cache Balance (typically defaulted at 85)
to something around 50 or 60.
 
3. For "Target" NetWare clients, the default "buffer_size" in the
BP.INI file is 32, try changing that to 64"
 
buffer_size = 64
 
4.  And of course, if your Network infrastructure, media server and
client can support it, a 1Gb interface will help.

Would love to speak with someone out there who may be backing up 1 - 2
TB 
Netware volumes "NSS". I'm
looking for ways to improve how much data I can push through the Novell

server to tape.

Running Solaris 10  Netbackup 5.0 mp4 on media master server.
Novell is 6.5  support pack 3.  Using latest  tsafs.nlm  etc..
