Sorry if you have seen this raised before.

I have a Windows NT backup server running 6.1.2 of Legato, backing up a
Windows 2000 cluster, containing three problematic drives.

Profiles 18GB 780000 files.  :- Causes high CPU util and never takes over
48 hours to do 2.5gb.  We know the small files problem will cause some
overhead, but this takes the p*$$.

User Data 130GB :- Backs up over 96 hours and will complete, again the full
finishes just in time for another one.

Shared Data 130GB :- About 80 hours and will complete.

Note : All servers involved are at 100MB Full Duplex.

This has been reported to Legato who blame name resolution !!!!
If name resolution was the problem, we wouldn't get a backup at all.

Any ideas ?????

Regards,

Dan Francis
