Not difficult at all, as long as the bus is properly terminated.  90% of 
all SCSI issues are improperly terminated buses.  10% are probably

Well, if the problem is a hardware-related problem, that kinda makes 
sense - the system has to wait for the hardware to respond.  I don't 
think any backup program would work properly if there was a hardware 
issue...
