OK....this turned out to be something completely different from what I
expected :-)
This is a new client and I haven't configured their server myself. My
first try was to make the backup with WIndows backup instéad - and POW
it went down again. I then tried to look at the speed at which it was
backing up which was at somewhere near 100 MB per minute - really not
fast enough after my opinion.
I then discovered that even though the server has a built in scsi-
controller the data disc was an IDE-disc so we tried copying every
data from the IDE disc to a new IDE-disc to see if the speed changed -
but it didn't.
OK - the IDE-slot must be broken I thought and ran into the customers
24 hours on-site support agreement with HP - I rang them but ran into
the problem that they are not supporting hard discs on the IDE-slot -
especially not if it is not a HP disc. The IDE-slot is only for CD-
ROM's
In the end I think we will exchange the IDE-disc to a SCSI-disc, mount
it and everyone will be happy - but the IDE slot is still broken :-)
