HP DLT VS80 Autoloader backup 1/8

[Hung Tran_3]

Hi,

Our company has just bought HP DLT VS80 Autoloader 1/8 and tape media VS80 . We are using ARCSERVE 2000 version 7.0 for backup data but we got problem on the speed for backup . It's only around 10MB/mintue (standard by HP is 3MB/second). Pls advise if the ARCSEVE 2000 ver 7.0 is compatible with HP DLT VS80 autoloader or not . If yes , pls give us your comment . Thank you

I suspect your block size is incorrect. For Arcserve this is usually a registry setting. It should be set to 64k

Dear Lewis,

Thanks for your information. However can you clear more your suggestion .

Actually, I've modified WinNT registry for HP device to 64K (7) . But the status backup is same as before .

May be need to change the block size for DLT drive also . How to change block zise for DLT ? If you know , Pls advise .
