Me again :) Hoping this question won't generate the same, err.. passion, as the last.
I'm looking at getting this unit: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2ug6dj8 , and I'm a little concerned because I'm going from tape to a hard drive array for backup for the first time. My main concern is throughput. This uses a gigabit Ethernet port for data transfer. I realize that theoretically, that would give me 125 MB/s, and that would allow for about 450 GB per hour. I understand, though, that 125 MB/s is a fallacy. I'm just wondering what I could really expect? I do have a limited, six hour backup window for about 1.2 TB of data, which of course could be helped by data de-dup and by taking differential backups instead of full backups. But still, I'm just curious as to what to expect for throughput in the real world?
