15 hours doesnt suprise me in the least. Ours was 22, it was getting ugly, and backup exec is ugly. Its probably great for one server or two but not much more in my opinion.
So you liking that LTO SAN combo? you using the IBM shark by chance? We piloted that hardware, it was really nice but about 100k$ more then we wanted to spend. We ended up going with commvault/spectralogic combo. We will probably add SAN next budget year. > 15 hours?! Holy crap!
