Auditing Vs Performance MLtt 03-12-2009

Hi all. I recently became suspicious that some users on my network are
making
misuse of the files on the server. Therefore I enabled audditing for both
successfull and failed attempts. This made the secutiy log large enough and
created a performance overhead. In fact the backup routine done in the night
did not complete in the required time and I had to terminate it and remove
auditing to be able to complete.

My question is this...is there a way to enable auditing and at the same time
do
not create a performance bottleneck? so that backup could complete? or which
auditing entries are the most essential?

Grazias

I'm no expert on auditing, however, it would appear that you might have
turned on auditing for too many different events. What, precisely, do you
think it is your users are doing, and what gave rise to your suspicions?
