My personal best is 189MB/sec on LTO3 backing up a mix of file & print 
data and some big SQL dbases at once.

Im going to give bigasm a run to see how well it runs..

Cheers,
Matt

Re: [Networker] maximum speed to tape using bigasm and /dev/zero






Typically running bigasm against IBM LTO-2 tape drives on Solaris hosts I
have seen a peak speed of around 42MB/s. On the whole, bigasm does 
generally
represent a nice level of compression without going overboard.

On the second general question of "what speed have you obtained", the best
yet remains an LTO-1 tape drive which ran at around 98MB/s backing up 
heaps
of holey SQL databases...

Cheers,

Preston.
