Francisco, those numbers are normal. 3590 drives have a native transfer rate of 12MB/s. that makes around the 50GB/h mark. to have more than that you have to compress your data, and the 3590 can compress up to 3:1. whether you can do that or not depends on your data (3:1 compression ratios are generally achieved only in mainframe world; in open systems you would expect something closer to 2:1). other than that, it depends on the number of tape drives used, and the bandwidth occupancy at backup time if you are in a LAN environment as it would seem to be your case.

We are running selective backup through Gigabit, and my STGpool is 3590 Tape Pool. I want to know, how many Gigabytes you backup per hour?? For bigger files I get a 52 GByte/hour. And I think these is very slow. This test is only 1 client and no other clients are accessing to Server. Any Ideas ???? Thanks, Fran. _______________________________________________________________ Copa del Mundo de la FIFA 2002 Disfruta en vmdeo de los mejores momentos desde tu ordenador. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/es/
