Hello -–

I did a check of the hardware involved in this situation: server nics, and switches, and there was nothing to indicate the problem

was hardware related.

I had another question concerning the backup. Instead of having a job that would do all the databases in a single full backup,

what about creating several jobs that would run simultaneously? The larger databases could be divided among the jobs, and

perhaps that would help speed things up? This could also be done with the differential backups.

Anyone's thoughts on this?
