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!

and loudly proclaiming:

-- WOW!!! What a Ride!!!
