It seems that you mix parameters of all three different LTO generations - which of them do you have really? LTO1 LTO2 LTO3 Uncompressed capacity (GB) 100 200 400 Compressed 2:1 capacity (GB) 200 400 800 Native speed (MB/s) 15 30 80 Note that speed may somewhat vary among there LTO manufacturers. > When I backup these large files the network transfer is about 25-30MB/s, > but with these small it's about 5MB/s, so that is why average rate is 11MB. It is really not too bad. My rate is up to 22 MB/s, but it is with LTO3 and data spooling (which is very good idea for all, who want not to reduce life of their tape devices). -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
