At the moment I´m using Arkeia Backup w/ LTO to back up,
but it is as 'slow' as a DLT 7000 drive (150 to 200 MB/min).
Restoring w/ Arkeia is _very_ slow, about 30 MB/min [:((]
With taper I got about 600 MB/min (backup/restore),
what I think is acceptable.
Till now I didn't find out why it's so slow w/ Arkeia.
Have you done (are you doing) backups with different programs
(Arkeia, taper, tar etc) or other OSes than linux?
If yes, what is your experience about backup speed?
Sorry for getting a little off-topic...

BTW how long did it take for tapetype to check the tape?
