The average throughput is ~2 myytes/sec ... which is _way_ slower than it should be. (The problem has not been reporduced on other machines.) I'd prefer to be running of the 80 mbyte/sec LVD SCSI card. However, that configuration (tape drive, cartridges, cables) would start at $1500 and up. This has so far cost less than $200, with an incremental cost of < $50 per week of backup. Robert Huff
