Hi all, we found that the MAXTAPEBUF was hugely effective!!!  We went
from 4 to 5 hours for a full backup down to 55 minutes!!!

 

Thanks to all.

Thanks to all the replies.  The consensus is that the DLT should be
faster than the DAT.  We'll try a few suggestions put forth by the list,
and if one works, I'll post that back.

 

Again, thanks, and have a great weekend.

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!
