    Subject:        How fast are your tape backups?

    Hello list.  I have a brand new database that is around 200 GB in
    size.  Our tape backup solution which was supplied by the hosting
    company is only giving me bewteen 6 and 7 MB per second .  A full cold
    backup can take 8 to 10 hours at this rate. 

    I looked at the specs for the tape library they sold us and it says
    15MB/sec or up to 30 MB/sec compressed.  What gives?  The storage is
    SCSI 3 and also some Fibre channel so I don't think the drives are the
    bottleneck.

    What kind of numbers are other people getting?

    The system
    NT 4
    4GB RAM
    400 GB storage (mix of SCSI 3 and fibre)
    Oracle 8.1.6.3.0
    ~ 200 GB in Oracle data files
    Tivoli Storage Manager
    IBM robotic  tape library (via fibre)
