On G4s, we have M2 customers sustaining a solid 11.8MB/second uncompressed
with Retrospect! That's approx 700MB/minute. This is a local speed and the
disk drives are SCSI RAID 0.
At $4,095.00, it may or may not be for everyone.
If you're backups are done solely over a 10/100 LAN, you'll not see these
kinds of results. The bottleneck is the LAN since the tape drive is so
fast.

Subject: Exabyte M2 - lock up your daughters!
I just installed an external Exabyte M2 tape drive on my backup server. Holy
mother of Elvis, does this thing smoke. 400 MB/min thruput on local volumes,
up to 300 MB/min over the network. In case you're looking to spend a big wad
of money on a tape backup system, consider this one.
(Backup server = blue G3/300 with Adaptec 2940UW scsi host on switched 100
Mbps ethernet. Your mileage may vary. Talk to your doctor).
