2. Neither Symantec Endpoint Encryption, nor Symantec Encryption Desktop will encrypt SCSI or SAS drives. SCSI drives are extremely rare to be found in endpoint systems, such as laptops or desktops purchased for the purpose of end users. These drives are more common in server products, however, these types are still fairly rare.
3. SCSI required the use of an adapter card, unlike ATA, where the adapter is built into the device. SCSI is also the foundation of SAS and iSCSI, two common uses of SCSI technology in enterprise storage environments. The following vendors are part of INCITS Technical Committee 10, which sets protocols for SCSI and related technologies.

One thing my pointy haired boss has long held close to his chest is BE. He brought it with him from another department here, and has been doing all of the scheduling/monitoring etc since then.
Me, I'm a dinosaur. Give me FDR please. Or if you can't then at least give me something that works and makes sense.
I've got real issues with pretty much any non-mainframe product I've been exposed to.
But the boss is like a senior director now and somebody has to pry BE from his fingers and that somebody is me.
So I'm looking at what he is doing and I'm not liking what I see.
Todays example is a job which is duplicating a backupset from a disk folder on an EMC AX4 to a LTO3 tape drive. Both devices are attached via 4Gb fibre, and neither is getting beat on by anyone else.
The duplication job is running below 300MB/minute...What?
If moving the data was the constraint I'd expect a bare minimum of 10-15 time that.
Does this POS bottleneck on its database or something? Even a quick look at task manager shows that the CPU is running in the single digits, and commit charge is less that 25% of real memory.
Symantec doesn't seem to have a lot to say about performance other than buffering. Can his setup be this far out of whack?
I asked him, and he is not an idiot. What he told me is that anecdotally if the transfer rate was low during the initial backup then he sees a similar rate during the duplication run.
Can I get some hints or at least a bit of sympathy?

Check SCSI subsystem. The speed of the disk controller and hardware errors caused by the disk drive, the tape drive, the disk controller, the SCSI bus, or the improper cabling/termination can slow performance. Ensure that the controller is rated for the tape backup hardware and that the SCSI Bios Settings are set properly.
