Dear All

I need advice regarding having several storage daemons that share the 
MySQL database and discs (using NFS) but one storage daemon manages the 
tape unit.

All backups go to disc but the Full backups are migrated to tape overnight.

The reason for asking this question is that we backup 60 laptops during 
the working week between 9 am and 4 pm with 12 having a full backup on 
one of the week days. The problem is the network is saturated and some 
clients are slow and others have large amounts of data. (Applications 
etc are not backed up only user data).

I suspect the NFS and MySQL traffic may negate any gain by having extra 
storage daemons.

Another option is to see if bonding two network adapters may work.

Thanks in Advance
Stephen Carr
