DLTs 8000 SpeedGood questions...

1)  MPE 5.5p6.  DLT-8000s connected to our 996-300 as DEVs 51 and 52.
2)  STORE
@.PUB.SYS,@[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask];;SHOW;DIRECTORY;PARTIALDB;ONLINE=START;PROGRESS;ST
ORESET=(*FULL1),(*FULL2);MAXTAPEBUF.  INTERleave is not being used... we
should try that.  Thanks.
3) HARDWARE COMPRESSION?  I am sure there is a "no duh" answer, and the
answer should be "YES", but I am not sure... how to tell?

Hello there,

Would be nice to know a couple of facts about your setup that could affect
the speed of your backup:

1) What version of MPE and size of machine are you using?

2) What parameters are you using on the STORE command?
(ie. Are you using the Interleave, Maxtapebuf and/or Compression options?)

3) Is Hardware compression enabled on the DLT's drives?

Just curious! :):):)
