Hello,

Has anyone ever seen an increased network traffic
between the Storage
Node & Networker Server, during cloning, as opposed to
backups?

To elaborate:
An Exchange server has a BCV. The BCV is mounted on a
Storage Node, and
it backs it up to a CDL (over FC). The same Storage
Node then clones the
data, from the CDL to tapes in an SL500, again over
FC.

Everthing works fine, except that there is 5 times
increased network
traffic between the SN & the server during cloning, as
opposed to backups.

Can anybody think of a reason?

Networker 7.3.1. Server & SN on same VLAN.

I would expect to see increased traffic between your storage node and the server doing the cloning because you are sending all the cloned data over that network. Or am I missing something?
