We don't have a back to back 10Gb connection, but we do have 3 1Gb servers going into a foundry switch, which has a private 10Gb connection to our TSM server. We achieve 1590Mb/sec. 6 TSM image backups streaming, two from each server, going directly to 3592 drives. P5 - 570 TSM server, does not break a sweat, and I'm sure more is possible. > > > > It's a NetBackup user, but that's not what the post is about.
