Hi Folks:
Just curious what sort of performance numbers people seeing backing up their filers with NDMP and direct attached tape drives.
Our setup has a pair of F740 with "FC" disks ( CFO too ) and direct attached DLT7000's. We're seeing ~6.2MB/sec using Budtool/NDMP.
Alas, the reason I ask is a pair of our other filers, F520's with SCSI disks, are backing up over the network using Budtool ( and no NDMP ) and we're seeing ~5.7MB/sec
All 4 filers have volumes that are ~100GB and we're running DOT 5.2.3D1
Thanks in advance.

My newest machine is an F740 with FC disks and a direct attached DLT7000 drive (soon to be swapped for AIT-2). I am not using NDMP or any commercial backup products, I just have a shell script that uses the dump command. I am currently seeing approximately 9 MB/sec.
