Your best solution, look at Flash Backup if there are millions of files. With 30TiB of data, that may present a problem of it in itself, do you have a fiber channel mesh that your tape drives have ac

MJK, How large are you backups? The number of files in one backup? 7MB/sec, that's what I am seeing here on my hosts. Also, what type of external storage and OS? I have tried a number of strategies f

Wow, is your NDMP implementation broken or highly utilized? I see ~26-30 MiB/s regularly with NDMP per stream/volume. Justin. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Ver

This solution is in addition to our existing SAN solution for this customer. They currently have an EMC CX500 with a Cellerrra front end. Our NDMP backups over fiber run about 100 GB/hour. For a back
