All

We have a 3584 Library with for LTO SCSI drives connected to the SAN using a
Gateway. When we backup a SQl database, we seem the tape mount within 20
seconds, but it then seems to take 2 -3 minutes before the data is streamed
straight to the tape. We are using LAN free backup. Anybody any idea why it
takes so long to start sending data to the tape?????

Thanks
