I'm asked to size a server for an outside department which has to back
up 200 Gigs a night from 20 Nodes, most of it Oracle db's. I hope they
have a 100TX with switching hub out there, so I can speed up network
with a second network card.

We are planning for 4 x 3590 drives, but - will a F40 be fast enough or
do I need a F50 or larger? What about the new 43p? Does anyone know?

Regards

Roger
