Re: Is a DLT drive slower than a DAT drive?

Ray,

More information on the actual devices involved might help but generally this shouldn't happen. Might happen if the DLT and DISC are on the same channel while the DAT/DDS was on a separate one. Might also happen with large numbers of small files on semi-busy system as some DAT are better at start/stop than DLT. If you are running STORE the STATISTICS option can give a broad indication of throughput for A/B comparison.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Is a DLT drive slower than a DAT drive?

Hi all,



Our backups are taking longer since we changed to DLT from
DAT (about 3/4 months ago). We've not had a huge increase in business
(thus more data), so I wanted to rule out that a DLT is slower than a
DAT.



Thanks, and have a great weekend!
