The only thing that seems slightly strange in the graphs is the load average going to 12 as the backups start and staying there a couple of hours. Normally that's the average number of 'other' processes that are waiting for CPU but otherwise runnable (i.e. not themselves blocked on i/o). Do you have other things running that should be active at this time? Idle daemons wouldn't count because they should be blocked waiting for input. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
