Care to amend that 420MB/sec.  Do you mean KB or possibly 420MB/hour?
420MB/sec is very fast. :)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] poor backup speeds


I have my backup data on a VM thats going into a FC switch.  Also going
into the switch is our backup server (SUN v245) and our tape library.

I have an agent running on the VM that backs it up to the tape.  I'm not
sure if it uses the sun box as a buffer but my backup speeds are roughly
420MB/sec with software compression disabled.  Have Lto3 tape drives.

Any suggestions?

Also, how do I enable the hardware compression?
