Okay we have AS2K on Win2K and only maxing @ 100 mb a min. This is really slow compared to our other box. we are directr SCSI connected to a IBM Ultrium 3583 LTO Library. We have switched cables, switched libraries to no avail. We have tried SP3 and SP4. The only thing left is trying a new box and we are close to doing that as well. We have also tried the antivirus service stop as well....Any other suggestions???

Please tell me on what kind of SCSI card you are running your LTO device.
If it's a ADAPTEC make sure you installed the latest ADAPTEC drivers for this type of card. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT
INSTALL THE STANDARD MICROSOFT DRIVERS.
Let me know if you need more help..

Stacey12,
Another thing you may want to try is flashing the BIOS on your SCSI controller.
I found that an older 2944-UW we were trying to make work with a Dell 120T Power Vault wouldn't talk to each other even though we couldn't find and errrors in the settings.
We did manage to get the card to talk to the lbrary, but could never get it to talk through ARCServe. The difference was the BIOS version on the controller. Just too old/corrupted for AS to deal with...

Hi Stacy,
We also had a similar problem and found that the switch port config was conflicting with the NIC Card configuration. We have both configs set to 100 full with Auto Neg switched off and it helped to speed up the backup. Obviously this was from another server using a client agent.
Does the data you are backing up reside on the same server as the backup library?
Thanks
