We are considering replacing our TL891 backup system with a single DLT 40/80 drive to an HP tape library system which contains two SDLT 160/320 drives. Currently the backup is on a generic box with NT 4.0 SP6, BE 8.0. and a 100Mbit NIC. If we were to go to the new one we'd probably put it on a proliant (768 MB RAM, 1.2 Ghz proc and Win 2K) with a 5304 array card and a gigabit NIC.

I believe there is something wrong with the current backup. It takes 10 hours for to backup 53+ Gigs on the same LAN although there is no traffic at this time.

How much better performace can I expect? How tough is it to move the Backup Exec to another machine?

Thanks
robert
