We have a Netware 3.12 environment, using ARCserve 6.0 and Quantum DLT
drives for backups on a Proliant 5000.  We use the DOSAGENT.EXE or
WINAGENT.EXE to backup various PCs that need backing up either on a
daily or weekly basis.  Throughput can be up to 20MB/min backing up a
PC.  That all goes well.

The problem we have is that a few of them run the PC Anywhere Host
when the users are not at their desk.  While the DOSAGENT TSR *is*
loaded, the backup now takes 10 times longer (literally), as the
backup may move at a rate of 1MB/min (as in *one*)

My presumption is that the Host TSR is gobbling up CPU cycles, thus
extending the backup.  I called Cheyenne and Symantec about this
months ago but they had never heard of this problem and had no clue
about solving it.

We need to run the DOS TSR (Windows TSR is not an option for us).  The
best option is to backup the PC using the WINAGENT TSR while the user
is at their desk during the day, but our ARCServe backup script for
the weekends is one big script and my colleague says there is no way
to keep it all in one script and yet defer the backup of that machine
to a specific time.

Has anyone had this kind of a problem with the Host TSR or other TSR
and gotten around it?  Thanks for any help you can lend.
