Hi all

First of all... I'm not drunk, on drugs or anything like that - only a severe 
headache....

I have a NetWare 5.1 SP3 (I know it's old...), TSA5UP12 is applied, TSM Client 
5.1.6.0 - and running a normal scheduled incremental backup every night... and 
still I've a screendump in front of me where I can read the following:

Opticut.exe (active), Modified: 01-12-1999 15:27:12, Created: 08-06-2001 
18:19:25, Backed Up: 28-07-2003 21:15:17
Opticut.exe (inactive), Modified: 01-12-1999 15:27:12, Created: 08-06-2001 
18:19:25, Backed Up: 25-07-2003 03:31:21

How can this happen????

Regards
Flemming

Compression will not help in this case, since all compression must be done and 
undone by the clients cpu, this will put more load and the novell server and 
not alieviate it as you might think.  What are the sizes of the files being 
backed up (in general)? What is the size of the cpu that is being used on the 
server? How much ram is available? and last but not least what are the comm 
buffer settings on the client?
