David,
Thank you for the inputs. We had 2 media servers and each had its own tape library. One of the media server had to be taken off line. So now I am running two libraries (PV 132T LTO3 and SDLT) on one media server( purchased LEO). The day after I added the second library, I noticed a huge difference in backup time. Like you mentioned in the last paragraph, the bandwidth is bottlenecking big time. Now, my issues is to reduce the backup time. Spoke with both Dell and Veritas, but no progress.
Just last week, one of the tape drives failed and had to be replaced. After replacing the drive, I had to reboot the media server which created canceling a running job on the other library.
Long story short, any suggestions on possible ways to decrease the backup time?
Thanks,
Won
