Hi I have a Quantum Scalar i500 and it works in Bacula, but it is very slow. It writes at 22mb/sec. The drives should be able to do a lot more then that. I have to backup 11TB that takes a couple of days to complete, I don't want to think how long it would take to restore :( This is the output I get from btape without hardware compression:

Please let me know if you need to see the config files. I do not have spooling on and I don't have software compression on. If you can think of anything I can try, please let me know. ekke85 +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by ekk...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
