it is the same SCSI card and cable that the DLT4000 was using. I think it is a
50 PIN UW connecting to the IBM ServeRAID card.
Some files are local, some are remote. I have had the backup in place for
about a year and a half. We were just starting to span tapes on the DLT4000
and wanted more room. All I did was remove and disconnect the DLT4000 and
replace it with the DLT8000. Same cable etc. I then loaded the new driver
from Windows Update.

Well, a few things could be affecting the performance:
1. SCSI adapter
2. SCSI cable
3. Driver
4. Failing drive
5. Network errors
As for drivers, I would download the updated driver set from Veritas.
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/259394.htm.
What is the SCSI adapter you have the drive connected to? Are you just
backing up local folders/files, or remote folders/files?

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. It also
said something about block size.
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. I also don't see anywhere to adjust the block size.
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, now take 15 minutes.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Greg
