We've got our backups running BE 8.5 w/ the Exchange agent running to an older 40 Gb HP DLT library (connected via HVD SCSI)... 56Gb takes just over 7 hours to complete @ 126.8Mb/s. 15 hours seems a little much for the 60Gb stated by the original poster, but it's mostly dependant on the write speed of the backup media and the connecting interface... If the original poster has his backup drive connected by an older SE SCSI adapter, then he's not pushing his Ultrium drive as fast as it can go... It's not BE's fault....

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!
