Hi,
has anyone tried backing up an image to a LTO2 drive using LTO1 tapes, if yes
what throughput did you get?

we tried LAN free backups using an EMC Clariion CX400 and pathlight SAN gateway
with 1 G switches,
the max throughput was only 26 MB/sec suggesting that LTO2 drives can only write
at LTO1 drive max write speed. (specs 30MB/s compressed)

Any confirmation of this would be appreciated.

TSM Server 5.2.1.1,  STA 5.2.1.1, TSM client 5.2.0.3
W2k environment

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

Markus Veit
