RE: LTO3 VS Virtual Tape.

You can't really compare a given tape drive to Virtual Tapes without
exactly specifying what kind of IO subsystem you have for your virtual
tapes.

It would make a lot of sense to separate the virtual tapes into their
own ASP, so your reads don't interfere with your writes.

Virtual tape speed is only limited by your IO subsystem aka buy more
disks, get more speed.

Has anyone done any performance comparisons between LTO3 Drives versus
Virtual tape? I'm looking for some help with my shrinking backup
window.



Thanks
