All of our clients use gigabit interfaces.  Our throughput ranges from 800 
kps to 5 Mps depending on file size on the clients and number of streams 
running at the time.  We run a max of 8 streams per client and 4 streams 
per drive using two drives.  We have tried tweaking the throughput using 
the streams but haven't spent much time investigating any other method. If 
anyone has a system to tweak the throughput we would like to try it.

All systems are Win2K
Backing up files ranging from excel/word docs to Unix file system backups 
and SQL database backup to 40 GIG.
1.5 TB total backup

Thanks,

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup clients with gigabit interface







Hello

Is there someone on this list using gigabit interfaces on the client 
machines?
If so, what has been the backup throughput? Is there a special netbackup 
tuning
to improve performance?

Thanks
