Hi Folks,



I am managing a 25 G Management Decision Support System on a
Sparc1000(2 cpu's). We run cold backups once every 15 days and
exports every week. The cold backups take around 15 hours.
The exports (have been broken down ) take a long time. Around
10-12 hours for each backup. The way my backups work is that
I export to a pipe, compress it and use dd to put it on to the tape.
My export files should be  around 4 to 5 Megs after compression. I have not
tried exporting to disk and then dumping to tape for want to disk.
Any suggestions (hardware/software) to reduce the backup time.



Thanks

p.s. I have the  8500 exabyte differential tape drive.
