Same here. I did some preliminary tests and we were getting around 20 to
25 MB/s. The backup-host had a 1Gbps HBA and our tape-drives are LTO4
(connected thru a 8Gbps Fabric).  This was my first time doing backups
thru the SAN and couldn't believe how slow the backups were compared to
LAN-based backups.

I'm doing a hardware refresh (new server) in the next couple of days.
This server has two 8Gbps HBAs (one will be zoned to the storage-array
and the other one to the robot-library).  Each HBA goes to a different
Fabric (8Gbps) and I'm expecting , at least, getting around 100 MBps
which I think is reasonable.   Is anyone out there reaching these speeds?
