Hi guys.

I have built a new storage node at a remote site. The config is. ESX4.0 attached to a DELL LTO4 tape drive. The VM is windows 2k8 X86 running Networker 7.5.1 SN.

On my management server. When i go to label a tape it gets to 90% and just appears to hang. All i want to backup on this is the File Server VM. Has anyone had the same problem with remote ites and if so can you shed any light.

Or

Am i better setting up the File Server as a dedicated storage node and having it back it's self up to the local tape unit?

This is the first remote site i am doing in this configuration so sorry if the questions are a bit simple.
