Thanks.  That helps fill in some of the blank spots as to what might be
causing
our backups to run so slow.

One more thing, could you tell me what type of performance you are seeing
from
your NT clients and what type of PCs/servers the NT clients are.  The backup
performance on our NetFinity NT boxes is marginally better than it is for
our
330 and 520 PC servers but still only comes to about 1.5 GB per hour.

100 Mbits, 3570 and 3590.
The network is NOT a limitation.  I verified this several times.
The tape drive waits for the client.  It is a poor performance if we compare
it with, for example, Unix servers.  But AS/400 has a very particular
technology (I love it!).  Storage pool in disk or in tape are not critical
factors neither.
