This is interesting to me. I'm curious of what kind of speeds people
are getting with their backups.
Checking my logs from last nights backups and I was getting 62MB/min.
My configuration is:
PowerMac 9600/G4-450 (upgrade)
192MB RAM
Cisco Switched network.
Quantum DLT 7000
Using the built in 10BaseT - 62MB/min
Using an Asante 10/100 at 100 - 112MB/min.
I know on the 6100 I used to use the backups were around 15Mb/Min,
but that was also not on a switched network that had very high
traffic at night due to various backups going on.
To think, I started doing backups almost 8 years ago using a Mac SE
over LocalTalk and was very happy when I got 1MB/min out of them!! I
remember stuffing a 10BaseT card in that Mac SE and thinking the
4-5MB/min was great!
1MB/min backing up 16GB of data....ack!! Good thing at the time most
computers only had a 40 or 80MB hard disk. So total backup of all
the Macs would fit on a 2GB DAT tape.
