Hi list,
 
I´ve started a backup operation at a Linux client using CENT OS (similar to 
RHat). The operation took 1 hour and 59 minutes to finish, and backed up 5.45GB 
of data.............I think this is kind of slow......considering that the LTO3 
tape unit is supposed to be very fast....
 
The TSM Server is 5.3.2 running on a W2K box and we have an IBM TotalStorage 
Ultrium LTO3 (400/800GB) unit connected through a SCSI cable.
 
The linux server (the client) is a virtual machine running on a IBM x-series 
366 machine under the VMWare ESX Server. The virtual servers (there are 23) are 
all configured under this VMWare and are stored in a DS-4300 storage connecte 
through FO to the x-series machine
 
I am using data compression.
 
Any ideas on how to make this operation faster ???
 
Thanks.
 
Mario
