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
