It is a Compaq 35/70 DLT drive attached with SCSI cables. There are other
backups going on at the time but they seem to run fine. One other backup is
the exact same setup and backs up about 8GB in 2 hours. So maybe this is
just normal and something I have to live with or it is a limitation of the
hardware and network.
 
Oh the Master server resides on a Compaq proliant 5500 and the media server
runs on Compaq proliant 1850. They are older so maybe this is a problem. I
was just curious as to what others were seeing.

What kind of tape drives? How many? How are they attached to your servers?
Are there other backups going on at the same time?

I was just wondering how long backup times are taking for everybody. It is
currently taking us about 10 hours to back up 50GB of data which seems to be
a very long time. The servers are dual PII 450 processors with over 2GB of
memory running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Nics are locked down at
100/full and I have increased the size and number of data buffers so I am
just curious as to if this is normal.

If anyone has any benchmarks it would be appreciated.
