I haven't used the filer as a remote agent so I can
not comment on that. Well actually I can't comment on
the Unix version either. I am using direct attached
filers to HP LTO2 drives for direct dumps of my larger
systems. For the smaller filers I use three-way NDMP
through the Win2k3 Master attached to HP LTO2 drives.
I was actually amazed buy the performance of the 3-way
backups. With direct attached drives to the filer I
am seeing ~40mb/sec and 3-way is producing ~30mb/sec,
not a bad solution when you can't afford to assign
drives to all filers.
