1. Is this a personal system?
2. Did you SAVE the file or OPEN the file when you were DL'ing

Click on the BackupExec 10 download.
Signup for a Veritas account and go DL your 548MB BackupExec file.

Another thing to consider is that if you are contractually obligated to offsite the data for protection purposes, it is easier to send tapes out with the backups than hard drives.

You could always consider going to Netbackup to speed things up as well. Since BackupExec doesn't have the ability to multiplex to the tape drives it isn't as fast. But it is a trade off because multiplexing takes up more space on a tape. Hence my suggestion of a robotic tape...

You're correct EMC has some great storage solutions. But I don't think disk is gonna be a good choice for backups unless you do a lot of restores. I have a couple of suggestions for you on the full backups and expanding your backup capabilities. Now if you are looking for disk based storage...
Sounds to me that you have a network problem and you need a scalable option for a tape library. I ran into a wall in my datacenter and found that the switches for not keeping the configs correctly. I'd be interested in seeing a network diagram for what your doing. You are running all windows...
