Jonathan, Actually we already tried out different sets of block sizes on the DSSU. 32 seems to be the fastest we can find. We do not use compression and there is no fragmentation whatsoever (newly formatted disk). Only 1 duplication is done at a time (only 1 tape drive attached to the DSSU

Ed, Did you ever heard of NBU users who actually got heir speeds up to acceptable levels with DSSU ? I asked the same question this morning to NBU support but I'm pretty sure I already know what the answer will be. Best Regards, Bart WALLEBROEK Backup Admin Systems Applications Management

Thank you Judy, you nailed it! I applied the patch from that bug report and ran a test backup last night. It succeeded. I won't mention the fact that after spending eight business days working with Symantec support on this issue, I got the answer from this list in less than thirty minutes.

Thank you for the credit. I feel I should give you some background as to why I knew. I have been fighting the 233 with core dumps for about 2 years now. And yes I have been working with Symantec. I have a dedicated person and group of people. Mine do not happen all the time. I might get 3

I regularly push LTO3 to 100+MB/sec. It just depends on your configuration (hardware and software.) For example, I've got a 4TB Oracle DB that writes to a DSSU at 40MB/sec then destages to tape at 100+MB/sec. I understand that you are running 1 deduplication job at a time to a single tape

Jorge – When I was talking with support; they didn’t have a firm date. Only that GA would be sometime in August and that a patch should be made available sometime in July. Regardless from what Jon found, it sounds like the patch might not address this bug anyway. You are probably just better

We have pretty good DSSU destaging to tape performance. Looks like it's running at between 200GB to 300GB per hour from DSSU to tape - it's a bit slower if you have lots of small backup images. We have 10 LTO4 drives a I've found that performance is improved if you limit the number of jobs

Martin, Even when we fully format the DSSU disk and we then run 1 backup job to this disk and directly afterwards we duplicate it to tape we get these speeds (35-40MB/sec). So at that time no fragmentation at all is involved. Best Regards, Bart WALLEBROEK Backup Admin Systems Applications
