Backups to Dell TL2000 with LT06 tape slow
Hello all, I have Backup Advanced 11.5 running on a DELL PowerEdge R710 with Windows Server 2012 R2. I am running some jobs to tape using a DELL TL2000 with an LT06 drive connected via SAS card (to the R710)and the backups to tape seem very slow. The "Details" tab on the running tape job show a speed of 70MB/s. What should I be expecting speed-wise?

Hi also check actial write speed to drive from logs: C:\ProgramData\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\ASN\Logs
it should look like this:
<event id="158" level="2" module="0" code="0" time="1454587782" message="Tape drive operation statistics.  Rewinds count: 0  Total rewind time: 0 seconds  Seeks count: 2  Total seek time: 0 seconds  Reads count: 1  Total read time: 0 seconds  Total data read: 65536 bytes  Average data read: 65536 bytes  Total read interval: 0 seconds  Max read interval: 0 milliseconds  Average read interval: 0 milliseconds  Average read speed: 7281777 bytes/second  Writes count: 1  Total write time: 0 seconds  Total data wrote: 65536 bytes  Average data wrote: 65536 bytes  Total write interval: 0 seconds  Max write interval: 0 milliseconds  Average write interval: 0 milliseconds  Average write speed: 124681142 bytes/second " />
If actual write speed is higher than during backup, probably the source is a bottleneck?
