Backups to disk across GB ethernet - what's your speed limit?
We don't have a SAN yet. We're trying to improve backup and disaster recovery time windows so we have been testing backups to disk using the following: Windows 2003 Server Dell PowerEdge server 2GB RAM 2xXeon P4's Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 (backup file size set to 1GB each) SATA hardware RAID...

beginning SAN infrastructre for the company.
On my windows 2 cpu server with 20 disks, disk queue lengths exceed 40. Windows perfmon and IOmeter benchmarks give me 0.9K IOPs for write and 2K for reads, 8K OLTP block size. #disks : 20 : 36 GB, 15K rpm, U320 scsi with two dual channel controllers with 256 MB cache each. I am moving to a SAN....
