We are starting utilize a Net App R150 for disk based backups with 4.5
MP5.  With this setup, I would expect that backup jobs directed to disk
would never go into a queue state unless we had reached the max job
limit on the disk storage unit.  But for whatever reason, we get disk
based backup jobs sitting in the queue for hours for whatever reason.
Tape backup jobs are running and are queued up but I would think this
would have no impact or limit on the disk based backups.  They just run.=

Is that true=3F  Am I missing something=3F  What would cause a disk back=
up
to queue=3F  Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.  =
