Hi
First off, there are several things that affect the performance except for just
the optfile, software versions and your operating system:
* What speed are you having making the backup over the LAN?
* How fast are the disks on your Domino server, are they able to transfer data
at the speeds your tape drives are writing?
* How large are the files on your Domino server (average) ?
* What's the version of the IBMtape driver on your Domino host? The version on
your TSM server (which controls the library) really doesnt affect read/write
performance since it only controls the robotics.
Have you verified that the backup is actually being done across the SAN and not
the LAN? 700GB in 30 hours is 23MB/s, which more looks like a slower than
average LAN backup over gigabit ethernet.
If your Domino server cant deliver data to the tapes drives with enough speed,
you'll end up with a shoeshine effect, which will seriously reduce performance.
Since you're using IBMtape, I'm assuming you're using some sort of LTO drives.
If you for example have a LTO3 drive, it will write data @ 80MB/s natively. If
your host only delivers data at 40MB/s, you will have a drive that is spending
more time rewinding than actually writing the data.
Some more information about your environment (hardware on both client & server
incl tape technology, your TDP configuration file) would be helpful in
determining the error.

Ärende: tdp for domino LAN free backup poor performance
HI friends
i am experiencing very very poor backup performance while taking backup of
domino server.
It is having around 700GB of data and LAN FREE backup on 2 tapes completing in
30 hours.
OS WIN2k3 64_bit Ent Ed.
Lotus. 8.5.2
TDP for mail 5.5.3
Storage agent 5.5
Version of ibmtape device driver on the Domino windows host that controls tape
drives---6.2.1.5
i have also tried performance tunning parameters but no luck.
