Hi Benr,

It seems like you are getting average speed.  At best I can get 10.5 GB/hour
(1750kb/s) on my systems.  This is the max capacity I've found of a DLT7000
on a standard SCSI interface.  Is the DLT7000 on SCSI interface?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] DLT7000 Speed

Any thoughts on this?  I'm doing some big backups to a DLT7000 (via a ADIC
Scalar 2x tape robot).  My backup is 400G and running on a single drive.
It's currently averaging 1500k/s.  The problem with this speed is that comes
out to 5.4G/hr.  Isn't that alittle slow?  Can NetBackup throttle drives and
thus slow down my backup this way?  Or is there something I can look to
change?  The disk system on the system (this is a local backup) isn't really
being taxed, and it's a Fibre Channel disk system with striped volumes.
The system is a Sun Enterprise 4500 running Solaris 2.6 with NetBackup 3.2.

Thanx

benr.
