Different EVA, but the EVA I have a 4TB Disk presented to does have other 
systems attached!
Problem I see with EVA is that its not really a "physical" disk its backing up 
to! Its virtual.... a Volume made up of any disk. Its a large LUN I guess
s.

You're probably running into disk IO issues with all of the other data. Are you 
reading the data off the same EVA array that you are writing it to?

LTO4 drives/Tapes 
Disks are vdisks from eva6400 - 4TB Volume RAID5 setup. 
HP EVA is an enterprise array Solution. Many systems SAN attached fibre.

It would depend a lot on what your “disk”(s)  and “tape”(s) are.   We typically 
see much faster backup to Data Domain than to Ultrium Tape. 
Is your target “disk” part of the server itself?  Externally attached storage?  
 SAN?  NAS?  iSCSI?   ATA drives? Fibre drives?  SSD Drives?   Is it JBOD?  
RAID1?  RAID5?  RAID10?   Are you doing dedupe?  If so is it at the server or 
at the target?

I ran a test backup to Disk and found that the backup took over 7 hours. when 
running the same backup to tape, it took 5 hours! 
The files was a mixture of small profile type files and folders. 
So not too impressed with the speed. Unless some tuning can be done ?

Watching this thread I have to put in my 2 cents. 
One of the key points is having to have copies offsite. 
So our search of de-dup has to include replication to the dr site where we have 
a live master, and we need to be able to mount that replicated copy on to that 
master to be able to do restores.

This would be a very good time for you to investigate utilizing client side 
de-dupe, Pure Disk, Media Server De-Dupe, one of the NBU appliances (which have 
storage built in), or a Data Domain. 
... 
or a Quantum ;-)
