ARCS 6.5 - Put Job on Hold??

[onkdonk]

I hav a terible backup functionality.
I use a ARCServer 6.5(build 630)
with 1(ONE) DDS3 tapedrive.
Take me 23 h to backup my holy fileserver.
if i need to restore something, in the meadle of the day, I stop the job and start all over again from 0%!!
Is there a way to put the job "on hold" then i can restore my file, and go back from where i stoped???

23 hours is not normal. Maybe you should concentrate on fixing your Data Transfer Rate.

I forget the sizes, but seems to me a DDS3 is 12-24 Gigs which is not alot of data. A DDS-3 should back that up within at least 6 hours... especially with ArcServe.

What is your average data transfer rate? If you check the logs, it should tell you. Also, maybe give us an idea of how your setup is and maybe someone can help you correct it. Many tricks and tips for Arcserve.

Let me refrase it.
Sorry.
Take 23h to complete all servers backup.

My Notes backup for example, takes 4h.
but I´ve just one backyup drive for all servers.
That's why i ask for the "Backup Hold".

I planning to evolute to 9.0...
Question:
Will be any speed diference?
will i be able to hold my jobs?

It is not possible to put the job on hold, run the restore, and then continue the job. Perhaps it is time to add a second tape drive and put each drive into its own group. That way you can run two jobs at the same time.
