Hello, Bob! BTW, client gave his timings: 160gb database backup - 1 hour restore - 11 hours, because of long indices with few unique values.
HDDs - Dell md3220 with 12 SAS drives, RAID 10. This is not for backup/restore speed, but for performance, because they have ~400-500 active users (simultaneous). -- Dmitry Kuzmenko, www.ib-aid.com
