Nick, I'd like to understand your performance concern.  The agent should
definitely reduce your backup time because it is incremental....only backing
up the notes/docs that have changed.  So the amount of data you are backing
up daily should be substantially reduced.

The first time you run the backup with the agent, it will take a long time
because it is backing up every note/doc....it is breaking up the databases
into individual notes/docs/forms/views.  But after this first time, the
rest is incremental forever with the agent.....you never do a full backup
with the agent again.
