Another bad idea I believe. One should never alias the real machine
name to 127.0.0.1, but only to its real IP address and FQDN. Or am
I miss-understanding.
I just meant that I tried all possible configurations to get this to work.
8 dumpers running? That could be a bit excessive, I find that 2 or
maybe 3 is all that can run efficiently here. But thats both
hardware and number of clients variable.
Like I said, I'm a newbie at this. But most of the machines being backed up
are at co-los and other remote locations, so the network bandwidth is much
lower than if I was backing up a bunch of local machines.

I'm still having this problem. I'm looked through all of the archives
everywhere I can find. I've seen people ask this question before, but I've
never seen an answer to it. Is this problem solvable, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for the help,
