Hi all, I'm helping a client upgrade their backup system. They currently have an 8100 Macintosh and a DDS-1 drive. They are only backing up 5 systems out of the 15-20 on the network due to the drive's capacity and lack of administrator to monitor the setup. What I'm proposing is to get a VXA drive and put it on a B/W G3 in the office. I'm wondering whether getting the 68-pin model and an Ultra-SCSI 2 card would make a vast amount of difference in the backup speeds. They have a 10/100 switch, so the G3 would be lots faster than the 8100. I'm not sure though that the fast ethernet would deliver enough bandwidth to justify the use of the ultra scsi 2. Can someone give me some figures as to what to expect using SCSI 2 over a 100 Mbps network versus ultra scsi 2? Thanks for any help. Todd Reed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just my two cents worth...
