It could be the multiple ip issue but to test this you can narrow it down by just having 1 lan port active at a time. The other thing i'd try is teaming the nics of NAS and trunking them through the switch to give you a 2gbps connection. you can also run come basic tracert and ping -t commands to see what the hops are like etc. If you need any detailed info feel free to pm me.

Hi all, sorry if this has come up before (sure it has!) Im putting a new domain in to move away from cc3. we will have approx 3600 student accounts (1800 X 2 (home dir & exam dir) and unto 300 staff accounts. How much storage is enough ? Im working on the what if scenario / worst case situation here so your thoughts, ideas and experience would be great! I propose : Students Home Directories to be 1GB max (quota set to deny access if over quota) Student exam account (controlled assessments) 500mb and staff (5 gb each) again all quota's would restrict use if quota limit is exceeded. Then there is the shared resources issue looking at 2tb there. any ideas how to accurately calculate the total space I'm going to need ? what do you guys do ? I'm looking at buying 30tb worth of storage to do backups on then offload Monthly backups to tape for archiving. any help or ideas please let me know. Ps how long do you retain data for ? (student and staff directories)

on the server running the B2D jobs (master media server) have you got an additinoal lan port ? in Backup exec 2010 r3 (probably in other versions too) you can select the lan port to use to shoot the data over the network. I would be inclined to setup a vlan and send the traffic over it to the nas and see if this helps as it maybe network related rather than the actual device. not saying this would cure it but not had any issues like this myself. Hope this helps
