There is _no_ mistake in the math. There are (most likely) multiple streams going on. I have asked about this before and think I have it straighten out.
Look at the aggregate and network rates. You probably have 4 streams at 10 MB/s each, for a total of 40 MB/s. Try using 'run q_ses_stats' (and q ses) during the backup. It will show any multiple streams. Look in the SUMMARY table to see the stats after the backup has run. This behavior is consistent with what I see for a small number (535) of large files (in 113 GB). Here's a good example where the aggregate exceeds the network: 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4952I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects inspected: 81,678 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4954I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects backed up: 665 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4958I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects updated: 0 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4960I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects rebound: 0 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4957I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects deleted: 0 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4970I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects expired: 558 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4959I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of objects failed: 0 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4961I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Total number of bytes transferred: 54.93 GB 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4963I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Data transfer time: 3,067.39 sec 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4966I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Network data transfer rate: 18,780.88 KB/sec 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4967I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Aggregate data transfer rate: 27,531.04 KB/sec 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4968I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Objects compressed by: 0% 04/25/02 03:19:55 ANE4964I (Session: 1994, Node: UNXR) Elapsed processing time: 00:34:52 Miles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles Purdy System Manager Farm Income Programs Directorate Winnipeg, MB, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph: (204) 984-1602 fax: (204) 983-7557 "If you hold a UNIX shell up to your ear, can you hear the C?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25-Apr-02 5:11:07 AM >>> I guess we al know TSM F***s up the math big time.
