Are those LTO-1 or LTO-2 drives? What OnTap version are you running? Are
you backing up by volume or quota-tree?

> Hi all
> 
> We have a set of NetApp 840 Filers that are connected to a 
> ATL P7K through a Gigabit switch.  NetWorker 6.1.3 runs on 
> Solaris 8.  The total backup size on an avg. is ~2TB a day.  
> The backups do run but are too slow.  All the 12 LTO drives 
> of the library won't exceed 12Mb/s speed.  The lowest being 90Kb/s.  
> 
> Is it a normal show?  Is there some way by which I can 
> improve the transfer speed, so backups finish faster?  Any 
> help is appreciated.
