Thanks for the reply,
1.)Disk defrag - the destination disks are actually SAN volumes and I don't think my boss is too keen to run a defrag on them at the moment [image]
2.) Destination file names - are these not automatically generated? How can I change them so they are shorter?
3.) Network redirector - unfortunately many of our SQL servers don't have the disk space to locally create/store backups of the huge databases they host, this is the reason we can't follow the recommended practice of creating the backup locally and then copying the backup to the Redgate server.
It should be said the backups are mostly failing at the weekend when the full backups are run and there is obviously more data being thrown at the server. This was why I was asking about Redgate recommendations on the number of clients backing up to a server etc.
We are going to adjust some NIC options on the Redgate server and will keep you updated. / comments

I have tried disabling the TCP/UDP off-load options for the NIC on the RedGate server (this was suggested in other forums for the chipset the NIC uses) however it has made no difference. We have now rescheduled the full backup jobs so they are more spread out over the weekend, I will update this thread next week with the results. / comments
