Nope. I work for a small computer firm, whom you've probably never heard of. They've had some modest success manufacturing CPUs for game consoles in recent years.
The fundamental issue with this particular client is the ridiculous amount of data being backed up. Moving to incrementals on a daily basis, with weekly (or even monthly) full backups would go a very long way towards resolving this.
The situation is not helped by having (to give one example) three Sun T10000 drives (same throughput - on paper - as LTO4) hanging off a single 2 Gbps port on the backup server.
The aforementioned beefy box is basically throwing hardware at the problem. Not my preferred solution - I want to see a serious look taken at the systems to find out just why the hell they're storing so much data - but anything outside that is beyond the scope of my job (and frankly, I really don't want to have to deal with anything outside that - my job involves enough tentacles as it is, thank you very much!)
