We just recently have started to use NBU 3.4 for NetWare backups 
(non-Target). Our first test to a lab server (with no virus scan software) 
resulted in backup rates of about 17.5 GB/hr. The Netware admins were 
happy and so we backed up a production server; but the backup rates 
dropped by half. The admins noticed that every file being accessed for 
backup was also being scanned for viruses. They DOWN'd the vshield NLM and 
the backup rates went to 15 GB/ hr.

Has anyone experienced this? Downing Vshield for the 12.5 hours it takes 
to backup 188GB seems like a pretty large window of vulnerability. Not to 
mention that although the Netware admins can "cron" an automated DOWN of 
the NLM prior to the scheduled backup start time, they don't know exactly 
when the backups have completed and so have to do periodic backup status 
checks at "0dark:30".

I've checked, there is no bpstart_notify and bpend_notify facility 
available for NetWare client
