Dmitri,

This is the results of our NetFinity NT server backing up to an AIX ADSM server.
Both connect via 100 Mbs ethernet.  Disk system is shared RAID 5 (this is from a
cluster node).

Total number of objects inspected:  684,090
Total number of objects backed up:    3,228
Total number of bytes transferred:   903.88 MB
Data transfer time:                  115.79 sec
Network data transfer rate:        7,993.25 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate:         66.95 KB/sec
Objects compressed by:                    0%
Elapsed processing time:            03:50:24

If I read this right, the total session time was just under four hours for 903
MB, with a network transfer time of about two minutes.  The rest of the time was
aggregating files?

This is with ADSM NT client 3.1.0.6.

Took 10 hours to back up 800MB! Maybe 1.5 GB an hour is not so bad...
