Uggh. That's terrible, but thanks for the update. Is the processing being done on the host or the media server? With the advanced disk option you have that choice, don't you? Might that be the issue?

I have been working on this with tech support since the end of May. Since we were going to use 2 backup servers any way we kind of waited till the new one was up and running to see if we had a server issue. but the new server is the same speed as the old one. We are using the backup to disk options and once things are settled down a little bit more we will be pushing the critical stuff off to tape. The other thing to watch for is if you want to use the Synthetic backup feature you will still need to purchase the Advanced Disk-based Backup Option in order to get this item to work. But once it is installed they do give you the templates and policies to use and you just need to modify those to match your backup times and jobs.

I've been very seriously considering moving to it, though I haven't installed the 60 day demo yet. I kinda figgered it would pretty much work in my fairly simple environment. It'd be nice to know the major gotchas.
