+\subsection{Testing tape drive speed}
+\label{sec:btapespeed}
+
+To determine the best configuration of your tape drive, you can run the
+\texttt{speed} command available in the \texttt{btape} program.
+
+This command can have the following arguments:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item[\texttt{file\_size=n}] Specify the Maximum File Size for this test
+  (between 1 and 5GB). This counter is in GB.
+\item[\texttt{nb\_file=n}] Specify the number of file to be written. The amount
+  of data should be greater than your memory ($file\_size*nb\_file$).
+\item[\texttt{skip\_zero}] This flag permits to skip tests with constant
+  data.
+\item[\texttt{skip\_random}] This flag permits to skip tests with random
+  data.
+\item[\texttt{skip\_raw}] This flag permits to skip tests with raw access.
+\item[\texttt{skip\_block}] This flag permits to skip tests with Bacula block
+  access.

+When using compression, the random test will give your the minimum throughput
+of your drive . The test using constant string will give you the maximum speed
+of your hardware chain. (cpu, memory, scsi card, cable, drive, tape).
+
+You can change the block size in the Storage Daemon configuration file.
