Hi Daniel
TDP through LAN takes 38 hours and LANfree takes 30 hours.
I am also working on the OS/HARdware performance factor, I am too having
doubt that the read I/O is slow...
We are having HP server
ProLiant DL180 G6
, windows 2003 64Bit ,
OS WIN2k3 64_bit Ent Ed.
Lotus. 8.5.2
TDP for mail 5.5.3
Storage agent 5.5
Version of ibmtape device driver on the Domino windows host that controls
tape drives---6.2.1.5
Regards
Sandeep

Hi
First off, there are several things that affect the performance except for
just the optfile, software versions and your operating system:
* What speed are you having making the backup over the LAN?
* How fast are the disks on your Domino server, are they able to transfer
data at the speeds your tape drives are writing?
* How large are the files on your Domino server (average) ?
* What's the version of the IBMtape driver on your Domino host? The
version on your TSM server (which controls the library) really doesnt
affect read/write performance since it only controls the robotics.
Have you verified that the backup is actually being done across the SAN
and not the LAN? 700GB in 30 hours is 23MB/s, which more looks like a
slower than average LAN backup over gigabit ethernet.
If your Domino server cant deliver data to the tapes drives with enough
speed, you'll end up with a shoeshine effect, which will seriously reduce
performance. Since you're using IBMtape, I'm assuming you're using some
sort of LTO drives. If you for example have a LTO3 drive, it will write
data @ 80MB/s natively. If your host only delivers data at 40MB/s, you
will have a drive that is spending more time rewinding than actually
writing the data.
Some more information about your environment (hardware on both client &
server incl tape technology, your TDP configuration file) would be helpful
in determining the error.

HI friends
i am experiencing very very poor backup performance while taking backup of
domino server.
It is having around 700GB of data and LAN FREE backup on 2 tapes
completing in 30 hours.
OS WIN2k3 64_bit Ent Ed.
Lotus. 8.5.2
TDP for mail 5.5.3
Storage agent 5.5
Version of ibmtape device driver on the Domino windows host that controls
tape drives---6.2.1.5
i have also tried performance tunning parameters but no luck.
