Backup Duplication to Tape Speed
Good Morning.
We are currently getting around 650MB/min when duplicating any job to our direct connect Dell PowerVault 124T LTO4 Tape Drive.
Any ideas if this is a good speed or how we can improve it?
Thanks
Lee
Could be why you're getting slow performance. The data needs to be rehydrated/reconstructed when going from dedupe folder to tape.
You can try to tweak your tape drive to see if you can wring a bit more performance out of it. Check a good article by pkh out on the link below:
