You'll probably have more trouble getting the data out of the local
disks then into the tapes. I have a AIT drive on an 40mb/s SE SCSI and
it shoeshines once in a while during backup.
I now using SATA disks, and FC2T3 is a lot better on disk thruput.
I'm also using XFS, and it helps a LOT. It seems to me that ext3 is
quite poor at long sequential disk reads, at least on my setup.
