Not always................but on a number of occassions I seen long
running backups on Windows servers
because they have the nic card set at an explicit setting, and the
network has auto-negotiate on the ports,
or some such mismatch between the client NIC and the port config.

Hello,
We have about 5 or 6 Windows Servers whose backups performance is very
very poor these
backups start a midnight and run throughout the whole day and
sometimes
run for a couple days
I have been reading different options including the DISKBuffsize
option, I know poor networking
performance can be caused by a number of factors and not sure which
parameter to look at first.
Here is an example of one of the clients dsm.opt file, They all
basically look the same and
the parameters matches TSM windows clients recommendations.
