I guess it's central coordination, decentral media - one of the OpenVision
NetBackup config options, if I'm informed correclty. So: take 1000
workstations, attach a DAT to each, use NetBackup to initiate backup
centrally, and - bingo - you'll have a data rate of 150MB/s-plus.
It depends on what you need...
