I searched through this newsgroup and couldn't find any info on the impact that backup software has on backup times/restores. I'd be interested to see if the software (ie. Legato, CA, Veritas, Commvault, Tivoli, etc.) has an impact when tested with identical hardware (server/storage) and identical...

Can anyone point me to a site or some research that shows what the industry standard for this is? I realize it may vary based upon the environment, but if you could point me to a place to start I'd apreciate it. Thanks.

I'm seeking advice about the pros and cons of using hot-swappable hard drives for large capacity data backups vs. using tapes. The scenario is a small business with a snowballing amount of digital assets. They need to store and backup about 1TB of data. Nightly backups would be ideal, but they...

Is there anything to say about the maximum number of drives you should connect to a Ultra320 channel on a RAID controller (for a single RAID5 set)? Modern Ultra320 10.000RPM drives have a throughput between 59 and 118MB/s (according to Seagate datasheets). Does this mean you can only have 3 to 5...
