We have a compaq proliant server running CIM and Backup Exec (plus 4 more the same setup). Every night, around 10 before or after the backup job kicks off this server shows up as "device inaccessible" and then about 20 minutes later it becomes "accessible". This is the only server out of the 5 that does this. We know it's related to the backup as we changed the job time and the alarm changed to match the new time.
Any insight?

Look at the drivers. We have had the same problems with Compaq and BE. Try the drivers from Veritas and not the compaq drivers...

The answer wasn't unacceptable, I just wanted to ask you a question - which drivers? The tape drive? Only asking as, looking at perfmon, the page file plus other things go nuts around the time it starts to backup (found this out since posting question).

Have looked at perfmon results and nearly all resource counters go off the scale for the first part of the backup (when backing up d: which is where the majority of the data is stored). The pagefile is currently on c:\.
Any other suggestions?
