Jon,

Here is the filelist I use to backup my mailboxes.
To backup several streams at a time, enter the appropriate number on the
'media multiplexing' tab on the attributes of your schedule.

Robert,
Your method for mailbox backup sounds interesting.  I don't get 41 
errors, and we can get all the mailboxes within an acceptable backup 
window using just one stream.   Can you explain more of what you did to 
get 8 mailboxes at once?
I'm trying to visualize what the file list would look like for that setup.

-Jon
I'm also on LTO-1, backing up over gigabit ethernet.
