I've tested our DLT this weekend using vdump on a full backup of all our
partitions here. The machine itself is an AlphaServer 800 5/400, with a
differential controller (KZPBA-CB) driving a TZ891 jukebox. I'm worried
that my performance is far below what it ought to be, since I'm seeing
on average around 2.5 MB/s transfer rates using vdump, +/- 10%.
Shouldn't I be seeing something closer to (at least) 10-20 MB/s? Or is
this just the wishful thinking of the vendors who advertise false peak
rates to get you drooling?
