We are running ADSM Client Version 3.1.0.8 For WindowsNT We upgrade our Networks Associates Netshield to Version 4.5 on four of our servers over the weekend, and on all four servers, the average backup time increased by about 20 times. (A former 5 minute backup now takes almost 2 hours) Using the pre schedule commands to stop the McShield service during the backup returns the backup times to normal.
