Greetings

We have been using amanda for many years. Our capacity had grown and
currently we are backing up 60 file systems across 12 servers. The
backup takes 9hrs to finish. We have tried to make it more efficient by
changing the parameters "interface", and "net usage" of the amanda.conf
and did not succeed( Probably those parameters do not matter). We would
like to perform Full backup every Day to a SDLT Tape drive.
We will be adding 2 IBM P570's and we are concerned about the duration
of the backup. Can we find how the big sites manage this type of
situation?. I appreciate any comments on this subject.


Thank You,
