Terry or anyone out there -

Can you aim me to where I might find an independent(or not) comparison between 
the following three products:
        EMC/LegatoNetworker
        IBM     Tivoli Storage Manager(TSM)
        Veritas NetBackup, v5
We have been using NetWorker in a big way for a number of years - but are 
investigating whether to stay with them or not at this point.  Just thinking 
about switching to another product gives me a headache.  

Thanks - John

Before doing this, you should make sure that your single Ethernet adapter is, 
indeed, the bottleneck.  For instance, if your backup and/or storage node 
server CPU is running 90-100% busy (perhaps handling the IP traffic containing 
your backup data coming in from clients via the LAN), or if your backup client 
is busy, slow, or has many small files, then adding a second Ethernet adapter 
won't help.

Where is your bottleneck now?  That will help us advise you.

If you're not sure, check out the NetWorker Performance Tuning book, available 
(as are all NetWorker manuals) on the Legato web site.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Networker] Second IP on Server

I am on a 100mb network.  Trying to make my back ups faster. My hp server 
has a single network interface card with two ports. I have a library with 2 
sdlt 320's rated at 16MB per second per driver. I am averaging 6 or 7 MB 
per second per drive. What I thought I could do is assign a second ip to 
the other nic.  Then go around and change half my host files so that half 
my servers would backup on the other ip, basically increase my input to the 
backup server. I did the experiment but networker is giving me a connection 
refused. The client recognises the fully qualified domain name and the 
second ip. I am a windows environment. Is there any configuration on the 
networker server that needs to done.
