Backing up files over a network via shares is slow and dangerous on any
server. You get stuck with file locks and all sorts of other issues
plus you tape will do a lot of shoe shining. Use a backup agent that
handles the file locks and data compression as well as attribute
updates. The agent should also buffer the data better reducing the tape
start/stop/repositioning, (Shoe Shining.)

Subject: Backup QNTC - performance
Hi,
Does anyone backup their local (LAN) Windows servers using their iSeries
tape over the QNTC file system?
I know the integrated server can lock the tape drive and use it but I am
talking about non integrated servers.
And I guess that the servers would be using either 100/1000 network
connections.
I suppose I want to know if anyone backs up their Windows servers this
way and if they think it is feasible.
