Hello Steve, what is the actual distance on the path to the tape drives? Can you ask your SAN team how many buffer credits are configured on the switch ports? It seems from your statement 76 km distance that it might be a long distance connection. Make sure you have enought buffer credits on the

I have been trying to get this to work for days now and I don't seem to be making any progress. I have tried all kinds of options in both the dsm.opt and tdpexc.cfg files and I get various messages. The documentation in the TDP for Exchange manual on doing replica backups is not very detailed
