333feccd-9a8f-41de-b767-7e44c655d720 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Can anyone know let me know the best backup performance to tape they have achived with retrospect 9. Im running V8.2 using MacPro, SAS LTO5 + dual 4Gb fibre SAN source. Best I see is about 60MB/s using retrospect. Evaluating Prestore + Bru on the same hardware I was seeing 120-140MB/s to tape. Retrospect V8 IS the bottleneck. Is V9 any faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 for sure! I'm using LTO-4 and getting about 3GB/m in some backups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prl Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 2.7GB/min is 45MB/s, which is 25% less than what the OP is getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

333feccd-9a8f-41de-b767-7e44c655d720 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 With drives and backups getting ever larger, I've all but given up on retrospect as a future backup/archive platform. And to think I have been using it since Mac os 8.6! I would love to hear from the manufacturers about this one - but they have failed to respond on multiple occasions. Its like they know something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 If you have million of tiny files to backup, the performance is much less than backing up a few large files of the same total size. So the comparison with Prestore is useless until we know the test is done under identical conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
