Hi,

The easiest thing really is to increase it and see whether your performance
throughput to drive increases as well ... (as you probably know there is no
risk - apart from slower restores...).

Handy tip, do a recovery (with target sessions set to 4) beforehand and get
an idea of how long it takes to recover a specific file / directory etc.
Then do a recovery test after you have upped you target settings and compare
the two.

A lot of people (myself included) prefer rather to "suffer" slightly slower
backups but to have significantly faster restores ....

Regards,

Riaan

Subject: [Networker] Optimum Target Sessions


How can I determine the optimum target sessions for LTO Ultrium Drive
(or just in general).  Right now it's set to 4 and I think it runs well
but if I can increase that to increase performance that would be great.
We have GBIC connections so I don't think the network portion would
hinder performance if we did an increase.

Any thoughts appreciated.


Thanks,
Brian
