Hi,

I'm using a Storagetek L700 library, installed with 8 x LTO drives
(seagate).  We run NB3.4.1 datacentre on top of W2K (SP2).  Our servers are
connected to the drives via gigabit SAN fibre, with  9 media servers having
a slice of the action. We use multiplexing and multistreaming.

A typical throughput is hard to gauge, but assuming we keep our virus
checker out of action, we might expect to see between 10,000 and 30,000 K
per second on the concurrent jobs across the eight drive (according to the
activity monitor)

LTO has not been without its problems, with a number of firmware upgrades
needed to enhance reliability, but things have settled down now, and what's
more, I don't have to pay for the media !

Hi,

I'm thinking of dumping our Mammoth(m1) library in favour of a library 
with LTO ultrium 230 drives.

I'm currently seeing thruput of 4400KB/sec in my veritas console for 20GB 
db partition. The library and the db partition are located on the same 
drive. The backup is not multiplexed.

What kind of speed can i expect for the LTO backup?

NB4.5FP2BS

Thanks,

Karl
