I don't know who specified the tape library set up, but it was definitely never the bottleneck. BTW my math says 1200MB/60MB = 20 drives and not 200 :) We never measured the effective data rates of the tape drives as the SAN was the main issue in this setup. > > I guess that is why we are a TMM shop and not a VTS shop also.
