Are you using Raw volumes for your storage pool volumes, database volumes, and log volumes? We switched from UFS to RAW and saw a 500% increase in backup throughput. We went from approx 2mb/sec to 10 mb/sec.

We have around 100 nodes backing up to this puppy, backing up around 90Gb nightly ( achiving 11Gb a night ). I'm seeing pretty consistent throughput from the nodes of around 1Gb every 12minutes. Does this sound right to y'all? The E450 is Gigabit ethernet connected to our backup network, but the nodes are almost all on 100Mb connections. Thanks for your help, Ed Anderson Unix Systems Administrator University of Mississippi Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED]
