Hello,
I believe networker backs up the data in 2 GB increments, this behavior 
may have changed with later versions, but that's as far as i know.
The saveset on the tape should be divided in several segments depending on 
tape size, i.e head or tail, this is different then what i mentioned 
earlier, 2 GB is what networker collects in memory before committing to 
tape, this way the tape drives do not show shine too much.
Thanks

What's up with that?  Have any of you seen this? We have file servers
with 5 (500GB) drives that networker has chunked into a bunch of 2GB
savesets
