So let me get this right...

You can pull 3 streams of file level CIFS data over GigE faster than
your filer can write to tape over fiber HBA?
I suppose I could if nothing else was running, but sending the Filer to
tape using NDMP means my network IO is free to pull in data from Network
attached clients.

Not to mention eliminating contention with clients for bandwidth on my
filer's VIFs.
