Hi Nicolai, we don't use multiplexing on the VLS, the main issue we have with the VLS is that it was under specified for our backup requirements, all our backups have been moved to the VLS and this has shown up the errors of configutaion, we are looking to increase the capacity of the VLS12000 shortly, withour VLS aet up we also use the low bandwith replication betwen two sites so the data form both are being held on each VLS.

I was hoping that the use of Cumulative Incrementals once a week rather than the full backup would reduce the amount of data being sent to the VLS, would this not be so?
