[Veritas-bu] SGI and Netbackup/ Drive problems with LTO

Any sugestions to backup 5 TB over the network in 10 hours ;)
I guess now they are supporting (or trying to) 3250 and Seagate...  Perhaps the
way out is direct SCSI attachment.

Regards,

Yucel

Just backup you SGI boxes over network and you will be fine.
The only supported SAN configuration by SGI is
FC-ready STK tape drives, at least it was 6 months ago.
