I snipped a bit of it and fixed the word wrapping (hopefully) to make it a bit easier to read. CPU, memory use, disk IO all look reasonable. Your server isn't completely maxed out here. The context switch rate is a bit high, but you have CPU cycles to spare so it's not really an issue here. It is likely either the client or network keeping the backups from going faster. I would start looking at client side (CPU/disk) or network bottlenecks if you are looking to go faster. > Out of couriousity: How many MB/s do your backups usually acheive? Anywhere from 1MB/s to 8MB/s is typical depending on the client speed and files being backed up. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
