Re: Backup QNTC - performance

Thanks all.

I think I will go with something like Richard mentioned.

Although it will probably be some HP software with agents on the remaining
clients.

Thanks

Not recommended. QNTC performance is abysmally slow.....

If you have an IXS card, lock the tape drive, install Veritas on the IXS
and the agents on the non-integrated servers and back them up with the
nice high speed iSeries tape drive.

subject: Backup QNTC - performance

Hi,

Does anyone backup their local (LAN) Windows servers using their iSeries
tape over the QNTC file system?

I know the integrated server can lock the tape drive and use it but I am
talking about non integrated servers.

And I guess that the servers would be using either 100/1000 network
connections.

I suppose I want to know if anyone backs up their Windows servers this way


and if they think it is feasible.

Thanks
