First Post I'm running RH7.1 on my server and I am experiencing a lot of trouble getting my backups to work. My server is in a corporate Datacenter and backups are controlled by a group that uses Veritas Netbackup. Ever since we installed this box, backups have never worked consistently. Our network group has set up their switches to run at 100MB Full Duplex. How can I make sure my NIC is running at this speed and if not, change it? The backup will run for a while and then time out. I'm not saying the problem is my network setting, but neither Veritas or the backup group can come up with anything better. Stanley G.
