I am just curious about this. I am running backup exec 12 on a 2003 server. We had some issues with are old lto4 backup using a quantum superloader 3. We have purchased the same superloader 3 but with a lto 6 drive in it. At first the nightly backups were great and only taking about 3 hours to back up about 80 gb across all servers. The other night the backup ran but took about 12 hours to complete. Last nights backup was 6 1/2 hours, this spans over 13 servers and only grabs data that has been modified that day. I noticed though there was a time lapse of 3 1/2 hours between 2 of the servers and their jobs. The one that took 12 hours to complete had multiple spans of inactive time between servers.
This is nothing for me to be to concerned with since the backups are running with in a time frame that nothing is being changed on the network. I am curious to see if anyone has ever seen anything like this before though.
Thank you in advance,
Adam
