Mark,
We, too, do our nightly backups on a cluster machine
We have two Power 10's and a Power 9 (to be replaced shortly).  One of the
LPARs on each is dedicated to Domino.  Let's say the lpars are MAIL1,
MAIL2, MAIL3.  And WRKDOMSVR on each shows 6 domino servers on each.
Works pretty good.
MAIL2 has 1.4TB in IFS as opposed to 1.8TB on MAIL1.
MAIL2 has internal SSD's hosted by another lpar of IBM i.  As opposed to
the SAN based NVMe of MAIL1.  They both have the same model DD6900 VTL.
As shown earlier MAIL1 can back up that 1.8TB in 26 minutes.  MAIL2 takes
32 minutes to backup it's 1.4TB.  SAN based NVMe beats internal SSD's.
That, and MAIL1 is a P10 while MAIL2 is a P9.

Dekko hasn't touched a physical tape in over a decade.
