It has more to do with the file sizes and numbers of objects in aggregates,
etc.

Then, hardware comes into play, so drastically, there is no answer to this
question.

Subject: Expected throughput rate for space reclamation


We are achieving 30GB/hour doing our tape-to-tape storage pool backup and
are happy with that rate.  With this in mind, what do you feel would be an
acceptable rate for tape-to-tape space reclamation?  I realize that every
hardware configuration is different and different shops have different
constrained resources, but I'm hoping some of you have some rules-of-thumb
as to how tape stgpool backup typically compares to tape stgpool
reclamation.
