monitor. For LTO drives I think anything below the slowest stream rate (40MB/s for LTO3) is going to be shoe-shining to some extent. If your library doesn't have a performance monitor, you might be able to estimate the data transfer on the server with something like iostat. -- -- Skylar Thompson

Re: Backup on harddisk instead of tape

could I implement this if I'm going to use harddisk instead of tapes? I've used AMANDA with vtapes without any problems. Here's the relevant chapter in the manual: http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-filedriver.html -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar
