A completely different thought (based on the millions of files mentioned earlier): - Do your LTO5 drive support some type of variable speed matching, if so, I'm wondering if the drive is waiting for buffers to become full before writing. What are you NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS and SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS

Feel like my second home at the mo I have a crazy situation here, so wonder if anyone with HP G3 ESL experience can help. 7.5 environment, separate Media Server that can backup to LTO4 Library and new ESL Library. Problem. Backups over the LAN throughput is really bad going to the LTO5

To give you an idea, 20 hours to backup 100GB. I cancel the job, revert backup policy to the LTO4 library, same media server and backups of the same capacity done in 2 hours. Someone check my math, but 100gb in 2 hours, 50gb/hour, 853mb/hour, or 14mb/sec. I wonder if the LTO4 is able to slow

With a 10x performance difference between backing up to the LTO4 drives and the LTO5 drives, I'd suggest checking the fibre path from the server to the tape drive in the LTO4 library and comparing it to the LTO5 library. You might want to check port errors at the switch. I have my doubts this
