Hi guys,

I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

I'm using NTFS (its a Win 2000 Advanced Server with ~ 1 TB Harddrive)
because of security.

I'm backing upwith SAP DB from a Windows-server to Windows-server without
any of this problems. All other servers (except Linux) can backup tons
of Gigabyte (the largest one is 120 GB) to that Windows-2000.

I only have this problem with my Linux boxes. And I can resolve on any
other Linux box running any distribution (Mandrake, RedHat, Suse ...).
