Hello all...

Does anyone on this list run NBU DataCenter 4.5 on Windows (2K) to LTO-2
drives? If so, what type of throughput are you getting to the drives. Are
you using multiplexing for your backup policies? If so, what MPX level per
drive? What are you using for NBU buffer size and number of buggers? How
about the client communication buffer size? I have unix background so my
familiarity with NBU and Windows is rather light. What I'm looking for are
some ballpark figures as to what I should expect for throughput from Windows
clients (nt/2K/XP servers) to a Windows master/media server with
fibre-attached LTO-2 drives. The clients are all on a gigabit LAN
connection, some with local disk and others with EMC storage. Any
suggestions for tuning a Windows server/client to optimize NBU performance
would be helpful as well.

Thanks in advance...
