Ahh well, I figured it'd be something like that. In any case, we're
doing server side compression, and I can't stress enough that you'll
need tons of CPU horsepower on the backup box if you're backing up a
large number of systems. Usually, items from our disklist take about 1/4
of the time to blow out to tape that they take to actually dump to the
holding disk, and the bottleneck is totally the server side compression.
Luckily, fast processors are cheap these days. ;)
