Hi guys,
Just noticed from googling for a possible 2nd Tape drive but noticed on the one we have now, if i've got it correct it. It should have at least double the Job rate, it's running at about 7,249.MB/min on average which in my mind 7.2GB/min, have I got that right?
Not that i'm complaining because it is very quick but that should be 14GB/min or possibly abit more for the tapes Specification, is there something that needs setting in Backup Exec for it to increase.
We have a Dell Powervault 124T and Maxwell Ultrium LTO 4 tapes (800GB native/1.6TB compressed).
We're Possibly going for a second tape drive because the backups for this drive starts from about 20:00 til about 07:00. So if i could increase the speed I could maybe utilize this tape drive and get bigger tapes, rather than paying for another tape drive.
If you could shed some light on this, that would be great thank you.
James
