To observe the performance of various numbers of tape drives in relation to various numbers of
SCSI cards under Novell IntranetWare 4.11 on a very high-performance backup server
configuration.
In a typical DLT Tape Array II solution, two SCSI cards driving four 35/70 GB DLT drives
offer a reasonable backup speed (121 GB/hr). A configuration of four SCSI cards and eight
35/70 GB DLT drives provides very high speed (151.58 GB/hr) and large capacity (more than
560 GB on a single set of mounted tapes). At 2:1 compression, storage capacity reaches 1.12
terabytes.
Restore speeds varied, but were generally about 60 GB/hr.
