You also have to remember that you're not going to be able to keep four data threads continuously open during the entire backup session, unless you're backing up a large number of large files (>1 GB). Threads normally open and close due to demand from the client; setting resourceutilization to 8 merely guarantees a *maximum* of four data threads. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
