Re: [foxboro] USB backup and restore solution (K0201BR)

Martin,
Are you trying to compare dump to SCSI using DAT or AIT type drives?
The AIT(s) were always much faster that the DAT. 
AS for the dump time off the USB on a P81, I assume your using the USB
ports on the added card in the bottom slot of the workstation.
I did not think of the dumps times as being slow except on the P79 and
P80 which only have USB 1.
Mark

Subject: [foxboro] USB backup and restore solution (K0201BR)



I purchased the new USB backup/restore solution with the hope of saving some 
time backing up our site P81 Solaris 8 stations .
I setup the USB drive as per the supplied instructions and tried the on-line 
and off-line backup (using USB 2.0).
The backup's worked however they were both much slower than the old SCSI tape 
drive backup.
Called TAC and there appears to be no performance data available.  I would 
expect the USB 2.0 to be faster than the tape backup.
If anyone has any experience, ideas or info they could share that would be 
great.
