I'm wondering if anyone has migrated from Arkeia, and how much of a 
performance increase was realized. I'm setting things up now and so far it 
seems to be much a better product. Fortunately the .ignoredir patch was 
released earlier this month or that would have been a deal breaker. We 
exclude hundreds of dirs from backup using this method.

We're backing up 50 (out of 200 potential) servers, 580 GB for a full 
backup, on a GigE local network. A few servers have 1-2 million small files 
so we're looking for suggestions on how to speed up backups on these 
machines. With Arkeia, they're taking 8 hours to finish. Feedback 
appreciated.

One thing I'm having a hard time understanding. Can jobs run concurrently 
(backup 25 servers at a time) to the same volume? Or is it suggested that 
each job/client backup to its own volume?

Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'd love to contribute suggestions, 
help, money, and/or hardware if this works out. These yearly "maintenance" 
fees are getting crazy for completely unreliable software. Not to mention 
most companies are charging more money for larger VTL sizes - which I find 
ridiculous.
