Hi all, I have set up a new Backups System and I don't know whether the performance is good or not. So I hope you can tell me a little bit more :-) I am using a LTO4 Autoloader with 2 drives. It is connected to a Debian Backup Server trough an PCI-X SCSI Card (U320). This Server has another internal PCI-X SCSI Card (U320) which is connected to an external Raid (EasyRaid, 3*SATA HD's, Raid5, 1,9 TB). I am using this Raid for Spooling. The System Harddisk is an internal SAS RAID0 500GB. The Backup Server is connected to the Fileserver trough Gigabit LAN. Is this settup OK? Would you change something? Is the performane OK? If not, what do you think is the problem? Is it possible to write to 2 drives at the same time, to increase write performance? I know.........This are a lot of questions, but I have no experience in Backup Systems :-)
