Well thing to do, is turn off VSS, or any I/O disk activity software, or
possibly the AV while the backup runs.
To be honest, its hard to know what your problem is, without knowing the
spec of the Server, the type of files you have, network speeds, port
configuration, ect

Has anyone else experienced significant slowdown of backups using VSS?
Our environment is 5.1 MP6 running on Suse 9.2 Linux and HPUX 11.11 with
W2k3 or Suse 9.2 Linux media servers.

VSS is fine for Win2k3, but you will need VSP for earlier versions of
windows.
Common issue the old cache... there are tools to use to "remove" the lock,
which is very simple to do. Sysinternals is worth a look around.
I have used the standard install, and to be honest not had that many issues
with large cache files. Again, there are documents to tune this, or if you
want, simply turn it off.
The snap shot option is there for a reason - again, rather than turn off,
check to see what it can offer your environment.
Thanks

Use VSS, not VSP and you won't have the issues in 6.0. We've instructed our
Windows admins to always do a custom install and disable the VSS
installation and let Windows do the snapshots. No more cache files.
Now getting the Windows admins to actually follow the installation
instructions and do a custom install - that's a challenge all by itself.
Whenever they complain to us (Storage) about a large cache file, we tell
them to read the install docs and get it right this time.

Has NBU 6.0 or 6.5 fixed the issue with the VSP Cache file becoming locked
and not cleaning up after itself? This remains a common problem for me in
5.1 so we try not to use it.
