Having spent 2 weeks getting an acceptable performance from Novell box (between 130 and 200 MB/min). I thought I would move on to the NT/2000 servers.
Using the agent from the CD gives 12 MB/min and it doesn't finish as it times out with link lost.
I see there are sp upgrades for the nt/2000...

No luck with that but....
As a desperate last resort I've put back the HP1533 DAT8 drive.
The software recognises this and loads with only ONE backup device on the adapter, the DAT8 drive.
If I the use the device and media managers the BNCHMARKDLT1 drive is detected can be...

This effectivly disconnects the tape device allowing Arcserve to run at full speed. This will show if its a SCSI/tape drive problem or not.

Having spent another couple of days searching and tweaking!!
The following proceedure will help to identify problems and improve performance.
1. Run a short backup (50-100 MB)Note the MB/min.
2. Repeat but enter the following on the server console command line - "TAPESVR DISABLE...
Have applied SP Qo05996 and Qo06781. Backing up a suitable directory on the tape server now gets us to 25 MB/min. The tape spec says 60 MB/min. Is the Arcserve 7 software that bad???. We can do a disk-disk copy at around 500 MB/min across the network.
