Hi Paul,

For slow clients, a dssu will work wonders for freeing up tape drive
time.  Sometimes there's nothing you can do on a client - it's always
going to be slow (lots of small files on an aging server is a good
example), but at least it can trickle in the background.

We're constantly fighting very large and slow clients - millions of
files on Win2k3 that just can't just feed NBU the data fast enough.  We
started with a 24-hour backup and cut that in half by writing to a DSSU.
We cut it in half again with the advanced client (which has lots of
issues but at least the backups are going again).
