Hello,
I'm using Networker 4.2C for a while but I'm surprised how slow is the
backup(100-150kB/sec) when writing to nrmt0h! I think there's something
wrong. I checked the tape drive TLZ07 in our AS1000A(DU 4.0B), HW compression
disabled NOW(Ihad HW compression enabled before but didn't get perfmance
improvement when writing to nrmt0l).
I found in Client setup there's "Backup command" option, not found in
those Help's on Topic, Window or others. What is the default parameter?
How could I run vdump and with what options on what device?(nrmt0h or
nrmt0l). Should I turn back ON the HW compression? How can I get to perf.
about 1MB/sec ?
I do not remember where I found that /dev/nrmt0l is without compression,
and /dev/nrmt0h with compression. Also, is this software compression or is
it ONLY turning somehow ON the HW compression?
I'll summarize backup approaches under Networker....
TIA
Martin
