Hello all,

I am trying to see if anyone has any quick suggestions on backing up
Exchange 2000.  I am seeing some horrible performance as you can see
from the below stats.  This server has never had speedy TDP backups,
BAclient backups normally are in the 10MB/sec range.

The connection is a gigabit connection, from the tcp transfer tests I
have done with WSTTCP I should be able to hit 18MB/sec.

My Domino servers with 350Gb of data on the same network hit upwards of
14MB/sec.  One thing that I am noticing is that store.exe is consuming
90% of the cpu.

These stats are from a full backup taken when no-one else was using the
TSM server or the exchange server.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Maybe exchange tuning? Anything is
appreciated.
