Tape speed more than the max rate with multiplexing !? and a few more questions about it
Hi, I'm using tape multiplexing jobs in netbackup and there are a few questions: 1- The network card speed is over 3 Gbps while the LTO-8 max speed is 350Mbps ! How can I enumerate this? Maybe because it's using some tape features like compression or accelerate or so. ha? 2- How can I find the actual tape writing speed while running the jobs? Now I'm just using estimates from network card transfer speed. 3- Is multiplexing safe and problem-free in restores? It makes me uncomfortable when I think the tape is sequential read/write device and multiple jobs are being written at the same time. No problem like pointers, restoring inconsistencies, low restore speed, de-fragmentation necessity or so? 4-Why multiplexing option is an option that should be enabled within schedules? Should it not be on storage, tape media or policy options? RegardsSolved1.5KViews0likes3Comments
