Option B seems like the most straightforward solution. Increase the max concurrent jobs on the storage server and let those backups and replications play nice together.

I've had a similar issue before, and increasing the max concurrent jobs really made a difference in the overall performance.

I agree, that should help with the queue of replication jobs waiting for the backups to complete.

I think increasing the maximum concurrent jobs in the storage server properties is the way to go. It will definitely help with the queue for replication jobs.

I believe increasing the 'Maximum I/O Streams' for the disk pool could also help in ensuring replications can occur smoothly.

Haha, gotta love those backup bottlenecks! I'd say C is the way to go - crank up those disk storage unit jobs and let those replications fly!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe increasing the priority for secondary operations in the SLP would be the way to go? That's my guess.

I'd go with D. Increasing the max I/O streams for the disk pool seems like the best way to handle this bottleneck.

Option B looks good to me. Increasing the max concurrent jobs on the storage server should let the replication jobs run without waiting for the backups.
