As one of the original posters with slow performance (50 MB/min max
locally) then from the above I can only conclude there is some sort
of hardware problem with our drive or our computer (Power Tower Pro
225). Since we get _slower_ performance from the VXA drive on the
_fast internal_ bus than we do from an old DDS-2 drive on the
mediocre external bus. Removing everything from the external bus does
not change the performance of an internal drive -> VXA backup.
The VXA drive is in the middle of the internal terminated Fast SCSI-2 bus.
Software compression is off.
(i.e. I did NOT check the "allow software compression" box... so I
presume this means software compression is off and hardware is on?.
The only places I see to set this is when the original back up set is
created and within the individual backup server script. Any other
place I might be missing to turn off software compression?
Thanks for any and all help/advice,
-Greg Morin
