Kris,
 
Do not know if this applies.  This was in the 5.0 MP4 release notes and
we were told by support it is the fix to a problem we are having with
Windows 2003 servers slowing to a crawl but finally finishing.  We have
yet to test it though.
 
"Description: 
   When running Windows Open File Backup enabled backups using VSS on 
   Windows 2003 clients, performance of the backup is considerably
slower
   compared to when running a Windows Open File Backup enabled backup
using
   VSP or with Windows Open File Backup disabled. Only backup
performance is
   affected and no data loss occurs as a result of using VSS as the
Windows
   Open File Backup snapshot provider."
 
We also have another problem where backups start but hang after about
200 to 400 MB are written and have to be killed and the client restarted
because of multiple bpbkar32 processes that can't be terminated even
with utilities like pskill.  But most of these we have found are due to
the fact the client version is still at 3.4.
