I was wondering who else on this list is using CBRM?  We have had CBRM
working for about 6 months, but have run into some performance problems.
Since CBRM is a single saveset with a single stream, it is limited to
the speed of a single tape drive (in our case an IBM LTO-2 drive). We
are getting about 30GB/hour during the backup which means that our
backup is taking 16-18 hours for a full backup. Given that we expect to
be running in the 3-4 TB of usage in the next year, the backup time is
going to be prohibitive.

What is everyone else doing? Any suggestions? I'm working with EMC
support, but so far, no solutions.
