I have a new LTO-4 library and LTO-3 tapes.  I have changed the buffers
around and I am using a 1MB block size.  The best I have been able to
get on a single client backup is 89MB/sec on a ~300GB backup to a LTO-3
tape.

I found that most of my clients max out at 25MB/sec.  If backup 6
clients at a time/per tape drive I found that I had the smallest window
so far.

This would be from my catalog last night:

I should have my 1st batch of LTO-4 tapes in a couple of weeks. (I am
waiting on Custom labeled tapes).
