We then started heavily using BudTool's ability to dump ndmp requests over the wire. Since we have the 100mbit trunked interfaces, we bearly scratch network throughput. The only bottleneck we see now, is at the drives. We have 12 DLT7000s in a L11000 stacker and the drives just can't write fast enough.
Out of curiosity, what's the aggregate throughput on your backups to 12 DLT7000's? They should be able to do, what, 5MB/sec if you can stream data to them consistently? 12 drives would be 60MB/sec... are you actually seeing that much throughput over the network?
