NetBackup process time is taking too long

[MLamoglia]

Hi,
I´m using NetBackup client for Windows 2K and NT (2 Compaq Proliant 8000 servers for
each) and they are all presenting the same problem. The backup process is
taking around 10 hours when it should be taking 30 minutes. The backup
structure is private on a gigabit network. I still did not identify the error
and I wonder if anyone could help me out.

Thanks,

Marcelo

Hi!

Have you setup the required network interface to point to the gigabit interface? If you did. did you create entreys in the hosts file? also check that NIC are not set to autodetect speed and duplex setting.
