RE: Optimal volume size Hi guys,
Backuping on a qtree level gives one very important advantage in case of disaster recovery:
You can restore the qtrees on the failed volume in ORDER of importance to the organization.
E.g. restore the mail qtree first and the library archives last.
Regards, Eli

a) Yes, we do backup with finer granularity. However, if a RAID group fails, I have to restore the whole thing, so fine granularity does not help much :-(
b) Yes, I am thinking about switching to a 10 disk RAID group, with 2 per volume. That makes for 3 shelves, 2 parity disks, and one hot spare.
c) We have a Gigabit network connection, so the 7MB/sec does seem slow.
