I recently swapped out my DLT4000 tape drives for newer, bigger, faster DLT8000
drives.
Everything went smooth but now my backups are slower not faster. I loaded the
new drivers from Microsoft which are the same as the ones on the Quantum
website.
I am starting with new tapes to. The quantum website said something about
tapes needing to be formatted in the 8000 to get the faster speed.
I use the Windows 2000 ntbackup and it says the tape is mounted in a device
that does not allow formatting. I don't see anything in RSM about formatting.
Has anyone used a DLT8000 before that knows the trick to getting the speed out
of it.
Directories that took 3 minutes to backup on the 4000, not take 15 minutes.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Greg
