Well I use them - multiplex alot!! NT servers with hardly any data are
multiplexed quite high - clients with larger data is split around 5 streams
per drive.
 
Saying that, when I set 10 streams to 1 drive, there loss of backup time was
hardly noticeable - about 40 mins if I recall !
 
LTO3 fiber connected using HP ESL322e - pretty good! Not had any real
problems - backups and restores with well

Hi all,

 

How good/bad are LTO-3 drives when it comes to multiplexing? Would we see
great performance degradation if we set MPX to 4 on 1 LTO-3 drive and the
run 4 simulations backups to that drive?

 

I understand it can depend a lot on our clients as well...

 

Thanks and regards,
