That sounds like a bottleneck somewhere. Writing just one stream to tape, I'd expect 30-40MB/s to be a slam dunk, and 60-80 to be achievable. The press releases claim 120. This may sound stupid, but: Are you -SURE- it's going out a gigabit interface? No, really. > They don't have enough disk based pool space to land it there so we > will have to use tape.
