At this moment, Networker is down (dumping indexes/config to tape for DR
purposes) so I can't check the actual numbers, but we nightly back up
1200+ mailboxes totalling ~380 GB (at least, that's what the savegroup
completion report says) plus OS, etc., in 7+ hours. Those are all going to
a single drive SDLT600 autochanger, with no other backups going to that
device although there are many others running on the same server. What the
reported throughput is, I don't recall, though. However, the difference in
these numbers (vs. Paul's) makes me wonder if I missed something in the
thread and I'm not comparing apples to apples... ?
