OK ... I'll confirm that both VM:Backup and HiDRO can/may write a MAX blocksize of 65,535. That's not to say they always do. JR (Steven) Imler CA Senior Software Engineer Tel: +1 703 708 3479 Fax: +1 703 708 3267 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Slow as in minutes to navigate from one page to the next. We have been asked to supply the maximum block lengths for backups written by both VM:Backup and Hidro. I cannot find them anywhere I have managed to look on the documentation CD, and I think I have looked everywhere that is reasonable, Can anyone supply me with either a pointer to the documentation (if such exists) or the numbers?
