16 bay SATA HDD, with 1GB utp cable connected to the server of which there are 3 not in use. its the vessraid promise 1000i series. Kind regards

the raid card is 2GB in size FYI the following is also performed on this VESSRAID device. It acts as expanded or direct attached storage for the file server and another partition is used for backups. You could have a point about RAID 5. I am an intern at this firm and i just thought id research more about this problem so i could help the supervisor rectify the issue with his backups. What would be the best thing to do in our case? Thanks AButters and Jamesfed

I am backing up 1.5TB Yes it is connected to a file server as DAS via a NIC and we perform disk to disk backup on there.

I have a DAS VESSRAID BOX iscsi (RAID-5) that is directly connected to my file server. Capacity 32 Terabytes directly connected to the file server using utp Giga bit ethernet This acts as a shared drive for 8 departments and has a section for backups. Problem is the backups take forever to complete as much as 3 days????? I use Symantec back up to back up disk to disk on this vessraid box. Current users are about 300 users who access departmental drives. Please help me find a solution for my backups.
