Hello all,

We use a single SnapVault filer as a repository for 6 separate filers.  With the nightly SnapVault schedules we are able to balance source filer connection limits by staggering the vaults in between 10pm-6am as the business requirement doesn't dictate a specific time for these to occur overnight.  We would like to also move the hourly snapshot schedule to this SnapVault filer.   However, the standard daytime snap schedule is at 8,12,16 for all filers, and it can't deviate.  We have about 400 qtree's to vault so at 8am when they all try to vault at once I get lots of failures due to source connection limits.  We can't stagger these times since the business areas all expect their snap to be from those specific times.  

We could keep the hourly's on the source filers rather than moving them to our SnapVault filer, but we would like to recoup that expensive FC disk for non-snapshot duties by moving the snaps to cheaper ATA on the SnapVault filer.

Any suggestions?  The retries are set at 2 and bandwidth is throttled at 100MB/s.

Thanks!
Scott
