Performance issues with Infopath and Sharepoint Lists

In a data connection, if you check "Automatically retrieve data when the form is opened",  make sure that it is not a large list.  The underlying query pulls all the items from that list.  Also this option is checked by default. 

Even if this connection might be used to insert an item in a list, it will still pull the data and can cause performance issues of taking a bit of time to load the form.

Symantec Backup Exec and Sharepoint 2010

The backup exec did not recognize the sharepoint farms due to the remote agents referencing the Microsoft.sharepoint.dll version 12.  

To Fix this, just change the machine config to redirect the dll from version 12 to 14.
