That doesn't really make sense to me...if that were the case, wouldn't it affect all of the clients? In any case, I manually turn off the hardware compression before every backup. One thing that has me curious is this: Avg Dump Rate (k/s) 1491.9 1491.9 -- Tape Time (hrs:min) 4:00 4:00 0:00 That speed looks a bit slow for a DLT7000...closer to what you'd expect from a DLT4000. Is there some kind of timeout at 4 hours? James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://3.am =========================================================================
