Thank you. I have downloaded the new patch. Yes, directly to tape is ok. Directly to this NAS is 4 times faster. From NAS to tape is 10 times slower, at least.
I run directly through a 10/100 Lyksys switch so I avoid the Cisco box that sits at the "front" of my network. I don't suppose the network cards are Gb configured or enabled. I don't think I need this when only dealing with 9Gb files to-date. I just wish for the NAS to Tape to be as fast as it was when backing up to tape.
Is the Duplicate job a backup or a copy of the file?
I also notice that when my backup produced 4 files the duplicate stopped when trying to move the 4th (system state?) and now it does so within the single file at the byte position I would expect the last part to be. The error is varied from the job running immediately after the backup to a manual rerun of the duplicate as below:
1) 45d - The request could not be performed because of an I/O error
2) a00084ca - the data being read from the media is inconsistent
I have also had:
Event logs of: 57612 - a format inconsistency was was encountered during a tape read operation " on the NAS" ...
There seems to be something wrong with the saving of the last part of the backup.
EDIT - FORGET THE SPEED ISSUE - EMBARRASED TO SAY SERVER WAS ATTACHED TO ROUTER AND NOT SWITCH. SORTED NOW THOUGH! More to come re this reading back of the file...
