So what you're saying is that I should install the BE on the file server which the storage is connected? Sorry for the noob questions... Optimum installation on DC or File erver All, I inherited an environment which has a Windows Domain, that is running the backup exec software and a Windows File Server, running the agent, which has the storage attached. Is there a performance hit due to the software running on the machine without the storage attached? Thanks
