I have had the pitfalls of using MSEO and I can tell you that it is a bad idea for LTO4 drive. The impact on backups was the standard 15-20% and that was something I could easily deal with. The problem stemmed from the restore side.
I was seeing restores move to a crawl. To give you some kind of qualification to this I might see a 2TB volume take 3-5 days to restore. I ended up moving to LTO4 hardware encryption. The backup and restore speeds have both improved and the only issue that you will have is you have to use LTO4 tapes or else they wont encrypt. The setup is also very easy and did not run into any problems. . +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by jsmithh...@kpmg.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
