My current amanda server lives on one big 1.4TB partition on an SATA hardware raid controller. Copying from the holding disk to file-tapes on the same device has so far been limited to about 15MB/s. This seems quite slow to me. Does amanda add any overhead above a simple copy on the same device? An hdparm -t on this system when it's idle gives around 58MB/s.
Just for comparison...
I don't use a holding disk, but my vtapes are on the same (single) SATA disk as the other data on my backup machine.
While hdparm -t claims ca. 55 MB/s for the raw disk, level 0 dumps (actually tars) from my digital picture collection (ca 1.3 MB/file) to the vtapes are performed at 10-13 MB/s.
