There is a Wikipedia page covering LTO specifications, tape speeds and history. It should probably be in the Bacula FAQ and documentation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open Note that the quoted native (uncompressed) speeds for LTO3 and LTO4 are 80MBytes/sec and 120MBytes/sec - this is significantly faster than most disk drives can throw data at them and the Wikipedia article points this out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
