Nigel,
I was hoping that this was part of 5.4. Please see that it can make it into 5.5 or would that be 6.0? Does you fix include the waittype MSQL_XP fix?

Thanks Eddie.
Thanks Eddie.
We had a situation where new external disks were added to a server but the hardware communicating with these disks was transferring the data at a lower rate than the disk arrays could handle. This was causing a particular SQLBackup 5.3 job to take many hours to perform a backup of a 100Gb database that included a VERIFY. I could see the MSQL_XP waittype while the job was running. At the time of raising this issue we did not know of the hardware problem so that's why I wondered if thw wait type was part of the problem or just a symptom. The hardware has now been replaced and the slow backup has sped up. I have no need to run with the trace flag now.
As I had heard that the waittype is fixed in 5.4 I expect that I might be an early adopter once it is released.
Thanks

Thanks Pete. I understand how SQLBackup works. I was just asking what version of SQLBackup Eddie had used his in his tests.

Just what I wanted to know Eddie. Is there a date for 5.4 being generally available?
Thanks

Eddie,
You didn't mention if this was both SQLBackup 5.3 on W2K3 and/or SQLBackup 5.4 on W2K3 and/or W2K8?
Thanks

Do you have the VERIFY parameter on in your jobs? This extends the time of the backup but not by the numbers you are detailing.

Are you using the 5.3 version? Do you have the VERIFY option on your backup? If so this is a known problem. Maybe fixed in 5.4.
