I have a new Dell 2550 server that I purchased with a 40/80GB DLT tape drive. Everything is working great, including the onboard raid controller.
The only exception is the speed that the backup at night. I am only getting 549KB/s. A different Dell server with a 20/40GB DAT drive is getting 1208KB/s.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the speed is so slow?
Here is a portion of the log that I am being emailed:
