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

Subject:  No performance increase from 3590 B11 to 3590 E11



I currently have a model 730 running V4R4 and have currently upgraded from
a
3590 B11 to a 3590 E11. 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
