My main file share (on an HP EVA 8000) is close to 2TB, and I backup to
disk, and then clone to tape, in less than half that time. However, I
don't have 26 million+ files ...

I am backing up a set of SQL DBs now from my EVA, to a Overland 4000
(SDLT-600 SCSI drives, connected via fiber), and I am averaging over 80 MB
at the moment. These DBs are on the SAN, and are all Win2003 servers.
