Hmmmm......

Thanks for the details.

One question, you specifically said the "data ends up in your archive
storage pool as a single file".

Is this true about the ARCHIVE pool ?     Why the ARCHIVE pool ?    Which
ARCHIVE pool ?    Can I control this ?

If this really is true, this is probably the cause of my problem since I
have a very SMALL archive pool on the receiving server since I don't do
much if any archiving there !

When you do a server to server export the data ends up in your archive
storage pool as a single file.  If for some reason the export fails before
completion you lose everything.  We had some rather large nodes that we
exported that took upwards of 10 to 15 hours.  We would occasionally have
network problems that would require us to start from scratch.  To get
around the problem we started doing the exports by filespace.
