Folks,

 

 We have recently installed LTO3 tape drives in an L1400 tape

 library (for netbackup use). Tape drives are driven by

 Windows 2003 servers.

 

  Using Netbackup, we are not getting the throughput expected.

  We're getting 8-25mb/sec where we should be seeing 60-80mb/sec.

 

 Is there a utility or a method available which we could use to

 test direct write performance from Windows 2003 OS level

 directly to the LTO3 tapes drives, keeping Netbackup out of

 the picture ??   This would help tell the tale if Netbackup is

 the bottleneck or whether it is something else.

 

 

 Responses are appreciated.

 

 

Thanks Much,

Ed Scheef
