What made you decide on this this over an autoloader? -----Original Message----- From: Bennett, Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 11:52 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Veritas backup rate? After we provided the drives with enough bandwidth we were getting better than 600Mbytes per minute at each drive simultaneously. Which you could consider the upper limit of what the SDLT's can do. So after giving it enough network bandwidth we essentially had no bottleneck in the system. Here's the config: * Compaq MSL5026 with two each of the SDLT drives for a total of 4. * Compaq DL380G2. The G2 has 2 66Mhz slots so we used 2 dual channel 66Mhz/64 bit SCSI controllers and attached 1 drive per channel. * Simple raid 5 array on the server. * Backupexec 8.6 Warren J.

At 350mb/s. Did the bottleneck move from the network card to the backup units? Or maybe the disk drives? What sort of drive configuration did you use? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bennett, Warren > Sent: April 19, 2002 9:33 AM > To: NT 2000 Discussions > Subject: RE: Veritas backup rate? > > > We just finished installing a new 4 drive sdlt library.
