TL> Hello All!
 TL> Before I go competely mad and buy a new SCSI card and drivers,
 TL> would any of you whips have a solution to a random abend problem.
 TL> Server: IBM 320 (microchannel, isa, eisa) 128Mb Parity RAM,
 TL> EISA config knows about the installed RAM and this is
 TL> reported by the OS without any 'register memory' commands.
 TL> The processor is running ASTAPE or ASDB at time of the abend
 TL> (Arcserve V5.01). Although we can run the server for days without
 TL> error, when a backup is done, it sometimes brings the server
 TL> down in a heap.
 TL> There have also been many backups run without error. Seems quite
 TL> random.
 TL> We switched to the Proserve CX backup software provided with the
 TL> tape drive, but it too caused abends, though more frequently.
 TL> Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Switch backup products? Switch to ECC memory?  
I'm willing ot suggest the problem may be bad memory.  I've seen cases where 
the server is fine and so are backup, until a certain area of memory is 
touched by backups and bingo, down comes the server.
You might consider using SBACKUP that comes with Netware.  I know, no bells 
and whistles.  Price is right however.
