I am backing up over the network, I have a dedicated Backup Network running at Gigabit speeds. I also have tested backup to disk and backup to tape and both are slow. When I run an information store backup of the same server I get tape speeds of around 650 - 700 mb per minute The exchange server is a dual zeon 3.6gb server with 4 gb of RAM. I have monitored the performance of this and appears to be running really well ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce J.
