Can some tell me how can I verify that I'm using 64K size when I perform my backup through AS9.0 ? I'm trying to increase my backup speed and I happen to find this article on Dell Website..
DLT1
Record Size and Type

In general, fixed-length records, or blocks, maximize the throughput and the bigger the record the better. With data compression off, record sizes should be 32KB or even 64KB in size. Using 64-KB records should result in throughput in the 3MB/second range. Many backup applications default to a smaller record size, which will reduce the throughput performance of the drive.

Thanks
Darren
