I backup an average of 15 TB a week across multiple servers.  I used to
manage a 20TB Oracle backup from a single cluster.

For this kind of volume, I suggested that you should consider directly
attached tape drives and forget the network transfer.  This means either a
dedicated set of drives for this server or sharing drives with this server
in an SSO configuration.

Fair enough, but does anyone have a working-solution for this?
I asked in-part to see if anyone else was backing up this much data per
day.

Particulrly since in many cases the client is connected to the
master/media server over several switches/routers that may only have a
gig of bandwidth between them, and have much more traffic than a single
backup job running over them.
