Hi All,
we are running Windows Small Business Server on a HP Netserver E800 win2KSP4 (X86 Family 6 Model 8 - Stepping 10 AT/AT Compatable -261,616RAM) and daily we backup onto a DAT72 tape using Veritas (now a Symantec product). It backs up ~34GB of selected files but it takes forever and almost exceeds the 24hrs so the daily idea of backing up idea is void.
My email is unpredictable as a result on my workstation (win2k) but the junk emails are cleaned from the server daily ( and boy are there a lot!).
The server runs NAV Corporate and I've carried out scans for nasties using programs as recommended in these forums but it is still very slow. I presume that the main reason is that it is running the back up during the daytime when it should have completed the backup at night.
Is it possible to use an USB external HD of say 500GB with five partitions (one for each working day of the week) and would it be faster?
Regards
PFJ
