500% increase?! We are using UFS right now and not RAW. I have been a little hesitant to migrate to RAW though. Any suggestions for keeping it "as painless as possible" ? What did you do, just set your migration threshold to 0, backup the log, backup the db, repartion the disks, restore above from the backups? What did you do about getting the data back onto the disks?
Thanks for any help that you can provide!

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.
