[K12OSN] OT: Sluggish file server

[Barry R Cisna]

David,

You could comment out your full backup job for a week ,like you say to
take that possibility out of the picture. Then let er run and see if you
still go out of cpu. The only thing that doesn't seem this would be
it,if this job runs ONLY on Sunday night,if you reboot on say Monday and
your server is cpu bound in minutes this doesn't really add up.
What kind of backup scheme are you using? Is this like a hand written
backup script by chance? Just curious. Also have you just recently setup
this backup,and this is when your cpu maxing started? If this is by
coincidence it sounds like you may have nailed down the culprit. Fingers
crossed:)
Let us know what you figure out.

Take Care,
Barry Cisna
