Possibly the media?

We verify all of our backups and were getting
failures on the verify.  HP had us use a new
tape, same thing.  They replaced the drive,
same thing.  They reseated the controller
board, everything is fine.

We never got errors on the backups, although
they took longer, and depending on the number
of verify errors, that took longer also.

Subject: [HP3000-L] HOT BACKUP


Hello Everyone
My Production Server is a 979KS100 6.5 OS (ECOMETRY APP) we do a full
nightly backup of 30 gb's on a DLT4000 Tape drive. We set our JOB LIMITS TO
17 and we run 14 - 16 system jobs 24x7. Our backup starts nightly at 2:00 AM
and the compeletion time was 4:00 - 4:15 AM = 2 1/4 HOURS of run time. A
month or so ago  our backup started to run longer, at time taking 5, 6,7
hours to complete (6:00,7:00 AM), same 30 gb's.Before the backup starts, in
the JOB stream we do a SJ (SHOW JOBS) to list the jobs running.Last weeek
feb 03 - feb 06, the backup ran more than 5 hours, yet Friday's feb 07 it
ran 3.75, saturday's ran 2 hours 15 min and sundays ran 1 hour 55 mins.
Again Monday 10th, tusday 11th  ran over 5 hours. Using Lund Performance
SOS/3000 System advisory, I check the log from start to finish.No job is
hogging the cpu time
The one example below will show how proccess and job are running during the
backup, at times some jobs might take 13.0% of cpu, but! no major concern.

Can anyone offer any input to solving this issue of mine. "WHY ARE MY
BACKUPS RUNNING LONGER?" All inputs will be appreciated

Thank You.
