Backup takes longer

is there a virus scan or another service that runs on those days?

Check TaskManager and see if there are any other applications using a lot of memory/cpu... both on the days when the backup is fast and when it is slow - so you can determine if something else is running on Thursday/Friday.

Hello,
there is no task or application different to the other days, but i have seen that there was other errors like:

OFO: Insufficient system resources exist to initialize OFO.
OFO: Error during backup. Set has been canceled.

Unexpected end of backup set encountered on COMPAQ 1.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^

in the knowledgebase i have found that there will be a hotfix for the otman4.sys and otman5.sys, but the version of BE 8.6.3808 are not supported

Any idea??

You can still download v8.6.3878 from http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/241035.htm

Be sure to go back to the Patches Download page to see if any apply to you

Thx
