Sorry if this is
a duplicate, but I forgot to switch to my gmail account when

We have an old F740c
netapp filer (NAS) that I thought about using as the disk media in a possible
Disk-To-Disk-To-Tape backup scheme with Veritas 10 (instead of shelling out big
bucks for a new D2D2T device). However, my backup speeds to disk are
not much better than to tape, but I was wondering if replacing the 10/100 NIC on
the filer with a gigabit adapter might give me the extra throughput I am hoping
for. ; Has anyone done anything similar or know for certain that a gigabit
adapter would increase the backup/recovery rate? ;
TIA |
