In this case, the number of tapes is more relevant than the number of

Hi Maxime,
I don't know everything, but I've been doing backups for awhile. Most
schemes involve having different layers or expirations. There are
several common ones, so don't necessarily use the first one you see.

I have a 7-disk raid fibre attached and a lto3 scsi attached to my sd,
and I get the same throughput for both. I run 10 jobs (two from each
client) to each store concurrently.
I don't think the medium or the connection are the holdup. My network
throughput at that time varies around 750 mbps.
As a reminder, the director/sd/database system is supporting 20
concurrent jobs, 10 to tape and 10 to raid. It's a 2-cpu hp dl380 G4,
3.4GHz cpus and 3.5Gb ram.
