No.  Our ADSM server is an RS/6000 F50 with two 332 MHz CPUs and only 256 MB RAM
(upgrade in budget).  Our DB backup library is an HP 418 DLT library - eight
slots, DLT 4000 drive.  Cost about $8000.  It is connected to the server via
Fast/Wide SCSI.

We do a daily full backup of the 19 GB database and it takes only 90-100
minutes.

Tab,
  Do you have a Gigabyte fiber connection between your backup machine and
the machine with the DB?
