We just added 3 Solaris8 systems to our backup.  What changes need to be
made to produce reasonable performance?  I am running a test backup now.

The Master is a Quad Windows2000 SP4 running NBU Datacenter 4.5_FP6
The Media servers is a Dual Windows2000 SP4 running NBU Datacenter 4.5_FP6.
It has a Dell PV-132t with 2 Gen 2 LTO Drives in it.  I have all 3 machines
streaming to a single drive.  I am getting ~700 kbs each.
The clients are Sun Solaris8 machines running the NBU 4.5_FP6 client.

We get a higher throughput from our windows clients.  We have *no* files and
buffers optimizations done and at this point really don't want to go down
that road.  They are backing up via the network.

Thanks
