Dave, It's rough, but if you have RMM as your tape management system, it records how much data is written to the tape - precompression. You could just divide the amount on the tape with how long the job took to get GB per hour. I don't know if the other TMS' have this field or not.

(NIH/CIT) [C] Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 8:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Reports for GB per hour to tape Can anyone suggest a methodology to measure GB per hour written to tape? Management is seeking to evaluate the additional CPU overhead that s/w encryption might entail. IBM's Volume mount analyzer gives tape allocation and tape mounts per hour but not, to my knowledge, GB written per hour. Yes, we are still discussing h/w vs. s/w encryption.
