Thanks. Appreciate your input.
I've followed the link and tried what's there but we're still suffering speedwise.
We're getting on average about 2GB / min direct from the media agent to tape, which to be fair is an improvment.
Pulling from other clients via the media agent drops to about 0.5GB / min on average.
It doesn't seem to be O/s or hardware specific, 3 of our agents are blades and 1 of them has terrible througput compared to the other 2, all of them on 2003 O/S.
Similarly we have differing throughputs from our 2008 O/S media agents.
I've tried increasing the block size to 512 and there has been marginal improvement.
There does not appear to be any common factor other than they are all using new DP agents. It worked fine before on 2003 server running DP 6.2.
I'm having other issues as well but this speed issue is causing havoc!
Is there anything else we can try?
