the B2D folders are residing on the BackupExec server itself. The server is a ML310 with RAID5 array made up of 4 sata disks.

Dallas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 7:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: tape/disk speed I've been doing backup to disk backups and backup to tape backups for a long time. I've always liked backup to disk because restores can occur so much quicker when restoring a single file or two. However, the other day I was doing some testing and found that my backup to tape backups are a LOT faster than disk. Backing up 25GB of data to tape (LTO3) takes me about 25 minutes at 2,855MB/min. Backing up the same 25GB of data to disk takes about 2 hours at 460MB/min. Is this what most others are seeing, or is my disk backups just performing slow? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft(r) Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
