LTO3 vs DLT-S4? (Magnum 224 vs a SuperLoader3)?

The Brightstor log reports backup throughput of our main file server is

servers at the same time. The source server example is a Compaq DL380 G3
with 10k SCSI drives on RAID 5 with "teamed" gigabit NICs. The source and
target are connected by an unmanaged Netgear Gigabit switch.

Thanks again for the responses..

One other question, are the source servers on gigabit ethernet as
well.. ie: I think you are indicating they are on a gigabit switch,
but do they have gigabit nics on each one as well?

Yes, all GB NIC's on the netgear unmanaged switch. Many of the servers
including the one for which I quoted performance are Compaq DL380 with two
NIC's and they are "teamed" to 2GB, but not sure it's really doing anything.
I guess I never really did the math but since we went to multi streams I'm
just so happy our backup window has been cut from 12 hours to only 7.

I may be out of the group for a while so good luck!

This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about in a previous post.

Just Bob is a resident troll. Right you are, Rita girl.

Be very careful of taking any of what Bob says as being factual or remotely
correct. Bob has demonstrated his inexperience and lack of any real world
experience when he foolishly claimed that RAID cards don't need drives.

What part of "troll question" did you not understand exactly, Rita dear.
MarkM is having a ball. And now you have become the icing on his cake.


The correct answer here is ...

rest of troll snipped.
