How fast the system can save the data is not determined entirely by a rated speed of a tape drive. It is a complex function, depending on: - tape drive rated speed - IOP capabilities - speed of CPU - number of disk units - data characteristics (eg how well it can be compressed and how it is spread over disk units) - workload type - eg few large files or many small ones - main storage size More details in Chapter 15.

The drive is attached to a 6534 SCSI SPD card. I'm not seeing the promised 50% increase on my full system backups. The backups have run for 10 hours on both the B11 and E11. IBM states that the E11 has a faster data transfer rate of 14mbs vs 9mbs for the B11. Has anyone experienced this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks Paul Talbert Integrated Solutions & Services, Inc.
