Justin

We have NBU 6.45.1 installed on a 64Bit Windows 2003 server (4CPU, 4G memory) Dual quad core CPU
Connected to a DD580 via Fiber for tape.  Both systems have GigE connections to the LAN.

We are getting between 3,000KB to 8,700KB/sec to disk
and between 16,000 to 29,000 KB/sec to VTL tape.
We had thought the disk would be faster than our current tape environment, which it is not.
We are working with Data Domain on this.  It could be a server or NIC problem that is throttling the data
The VTL is connected via Fiber.

"800" errors:

We started getting the 800/54, etc  errors when we tweaked the Netbackup buffers and did some other hacks.
It was runnig OK before we did that.  So our issue is probably different than yours, which you have solved.

Thanks
Carl

Using DDR 460s here, they work great/good throughput, what kind of
throughput do you get, what kind of configuration do you have going on
there?
