Shawn,
=20
You mean 0.8 to 5.0 megabytes per second per client, right?
=20
Have you already performed a test backing up only one client with the =
backup server and drives
as idle as possible? In other words, do you know if this 5 MB/s =
throughput is limited by some
other resource bottleneck or this is the highest that netbackup client =
can send to the network?
=20
Thank you

All of our clients use gigabit interfaces.  Our throughput ranges from =
800 kps to 5 Mps depending on file size on the clients and number of =
streams running at the time.  We run a max of 8 streams per client and 4 =
streams per drive using two drives.  We have tried tweaking the =
throughput using the streams but haven't spent much time investigating =
any other method.  If anyone has a system to tweak the throughput we =
would like to try it.=20

All systems are Win2K=20
Backing up files ranging from excel/word docs to Unix file system =
backups and SQL database backup to 40 GIG.=20
1.5 TB total backup=20

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup clients with gigabit interface

Hello

Is there someone on this list using gigabit interfaces on the client =
machines?
If so, what has been the backup throughput? Is there a special netbackup =
tuning
to improve performance?

Thanks
