Hi Peter!

I got cuorious in your last sentence:
"All have worked, but the strength of the underlying storage hardware has 
varied which does effect performance down the line."

I wounder if you can tell me a little bit more about the hardware, on which 
hardware have you seen the best preformance and on which have you seen the 
worst?? We are about to set up a demo on a StorageTek Flexline B210, are you 
or have you been using any StorageTek diskarrays for disk staging?
Any one else have a comment on that choise??

Of course i`am also very interested to hear what Sto Rage© has to say about 
netbackup and disk staging....

Have a nice weekend!
