We are backing up about 40gb right now. We are using Veritas Backup Exec ver 8.6 and have turned 'verify' off since it just adds to the amount of hours our backup takes. Are you doing brick level or just full backups nightly of the IS? Our backup job usually completes in under 3hours.

You do realise that it is likely going to take that long to restore as well right? We are using a local 35/70gb DLT library from IBM and it takes us about 2 hours max to backup a 35gb store. Using out new SAN with the same 35/70gb DLT library it takes us about 2 hours to backup any server on the SAN. Using the LTO library we're testing from IBM it takes us about 30 minutes to backup that 30gb store. The software we are using is BackupExec 8.5.
