How fast will my backups be?
To determine backup performance, you must measure how fast the system reads from the disk
subsystem and writes to tape. Backup performance is no faster than the slowest of these two
measurements.
•
Use the System Performance Backup Pre-test to measure the speed of the disk subsystem. See
“Performing the System Performance Backup Pre-Test” (page 48)
.
•
Use the Drive Performance test to measure the speed of the tape drive. See
How fast will my restores be?
To determine restore performance, you must measure how fast the system reads from tape and
writes to the disk subsystem. Restore performance is no faster than the slowest of these two
measurements.
Use the Device Performance test to measure the speed of the tape drive. Note that tape drives
write and read at the same speed. See
“Drive Performance test” (page 45)
.
Use the System Performance Restore Pre-test to measure the speed of the disk subsystem. See
“Performing the System Performance Restore Performance Test (GUI)” (page 47)
.
How do I verify the capacity of a tape?
To determine tape capacity:
CAUTION:
This procedure will overwrite any data on the tape and can take up to two hours,
depending on the speed of your system.
1.
Insert the tape in the appropriate drive.
2.
Run the Device Performance test on the drive. Select one test set with your choice of compression
ratio. This will fill the tape and measure both capacity and performance. See
How do I send a support ticket?
•
Use the e-mail support ticket option if possible. See
“Sending a report or support ticket by
•
If the above option is not possible, save the ticket to a single directory. Then archive the files
into a compressed archive and attach the archive file to an e-mail. See

When installing L&TT, should I uninstall my previous version first?
For the first release of the WebGUI and LTT Service, uninstall any existing installation of the L&TT
5.1 WebGUI or LTT Service first.
L&TT 5.x can coexist with L&TT 4.x, so you can leave both versions of L&TT installed on a system.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Minimum system requirements are listed in
“L&TT 5.x minimum system requirements” (page 112)
.
Loading on the server for either the LTT Service or the WebGUI is minimal.
