Brian,
Hooked to an F330 I am seeing about 2-3MB/second so hooking up a DLT7000 to one system in this case is overkill. I've never hooked one up to a 520 or 630, they may be able to drive it a little harder.
Since we have 21 Netapps I decided to centralize backup on a sun server and back up the Netapps using nfs over fddi. Using Veritas Netbackup I am able to multiplex multiple backup streams to the same tape drive and am getting around 8MB/sec throughput.

Are you actually able to stream at 10MB/sec throughout the backup?-- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@netcom.ca) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
