Your Welcome!
We use GB here and it MUST BE hard set for 1000 FULL - otherwise it will
fail!
Depending on your Network environemnt, some setups / hardware

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Backup Speeds Revisited
Well, last night ran like it should have, like it did before the move.
Everything finished after about 9 to 10 hours. Most everything finished
with a 0 or 1. A few to iron out, especially our NDMP mail appliance :-Z.
Simon, thanks for those tips. I actually checked every machine to make sure
that port/NIC settings jived. I'm going to revisit a few today. The sad
thing is that most of our NICs don't have the option to lock at GB speeds.
Our are predominantly Broadcom and Intel; the some of the Intels have the
option to lock at Auto-1000mbps. We've killed tracker on most hosts; I may
look into GP to ensure that none have it running.
Thanks to everyone,
Jason
